First lets see if there is a link to your server.  This card is supposed
to use the S3 server.  RH6.0 using version 3.3.3.1 of XFree is supposed to
support it according to the redhat site.  So maybe the link did not get
made and that is why it cannot be found.

Do this:

ls -l /etc/X11/X

you should get something like this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Mar 2 21:55 /etc/X11/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3

This means the link is there.  If it does not have this arrow and this
server, do this:

ls /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86*

You should have XF86_S3 in there.  If not then you will have to install it
with rpm.  If you do have it and do not have the link then do this:

cd /etc/X11
rm X (just in case it is there at all)
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3 X

Then check by doing ls -l X and see if you now have the link as shown
above.

You need to do all of this as root.

If you already have the link and the server installed, then try startx &>
startxlog and let us see that.
