I'm assuming that when you say Linux 6.2 you are saying RedHat Linux 6.2. If
so, the RedHat website should have offered some instructions, but I will try
a little from my "Linux for Dummies" book. Check in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc
and see if there are any docs listed and see if they mention the video or
installation issues. Or, log in as root, cd to /usr/bin/x11 then run
Xconfigurator ./SuperProbe and verify your cards information.  The .rpm
package can be installed with the command rpm -ivh. This will tell you what
it is doing as it is doing it with a status indicator. To find out
information about the package type rpm -qi, and to make it upgrade the
information that is already on your system type rpm -U. If your worried
about using the command line options, you can type su -c kpackage at the X11
terminal window and it will launch the GUI to show you what you have loaded,
and then do the install after click on the file. Hopefully this will help.
