XFree86 problem with Intel 845G Chipset on RHEL 3


New installation of RHEL WS Release 3 (Taroon). The setup probes the
video card and correctly identifies the Intel 845G Chipset. The Linux
installer comes up fine in graphics mode. startx crashes the X Server.

I had a similar problem when previously installing RH 8.0 on this same
box. I went to intel website and downloaded the graphics driver for
RH linux, which fixed the problem with RH 8.0. I repeated the same
thing this time from
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...*&submit=Go%21
I downloaded and attempted to install first the rpm, and then the tar
file. Each time the build failed. I checked to see if the kernel
source was loaded:

rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.4.21-4.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-8.37
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13
kernel-source-2.4.21-4.EL

uname -rv
2.4.21-4.EL #1 Fri Oct 3 18:13:58 EDT 20003

So, I'm stuck. Any ideas?
