Failed to load module "ati" (module does not exist, after upgrad from Redhat 3 to 5.
 
I recently upgrading from Redhat Ent. release 3 to release 5. Now I can't get the video to work. It appears that I need to load the video driver but I haven't been able to find it. I may need to update Xfree86 but I'm not sure if that's the problem.

Any help would be appreciated. Here's more info to help with the diags....


Machine Type: Dell 2600 with a ATI Rage XL (Mach64)

When I type X here's what I get:
