Can I install RH9 in a Pentium with XFreeServer?

I installed it but I couldn't start the XFreeServer. I want to know if there is a problem with my video card:

S3 Trio64V3(generic)
Monitor: Compaq V45 Color

My computer is a Pentium with 98MB of RAM and 10GB on harddisk.

It said that it couldn't find any devices.

Also, Why I can start XFreeServer with RH7.1 and no with RH9

Is something wrong with my computer?

Red Hat 7.x runs fine with 98MB. RH 9 it's recommended to have 128MB.

Howzit

I have a Pentium 133 with 48mb RAM and 3.4Gb HDD it works fine a little slow but OK. Just remmeber to increaese the swap size 2-3 times your memory and disable all services not needed and it should be fine.
