I am a newbie and am using redhat for the first time. It is the only operating system that i have used other than windows so i am very unfamilliar with everything. I have redhad 9.0 after i install it, I get an error that sais, Fatal Server Error: No screens found. I have the ATI 128 Mobility vidio card. I read the other forum below about the same problem, but when i stick disk 1 in to change the properties, i only can change the language. keyboard, and mouse. Pleas help i have no clu what to do. Thanks Alot.

you need a special driver for your graphic card as well as a special xfree86 config have a look at google, ati, linuxquestions for ressources,configs,how tos

I am not really sure how to get the xfree config i can probably find the ati driver on ati's web site. Can someone tell me how to get the xfree config and what to do after i get it. thanks

there should be one avaible with the driver and you have to copy the xfree config into mostly /etc/X11/
