I have the following card:
S3 Trio3D/2X AGP 8MB (86C368)

(I am a novice to the world of linux)

I installed RH6.0. X Windows does not work.

My video card does not work with it. I got it to work but in an unbelieve
low resolution.

Has anyone got any ideas regarding how to fix my problem? I have read that
an updated XFree86 would help. Could someone tell me step by step how to
update the files. I have all necessary files for version 3.6 but cant seem
to unzip them and or use them. I gunziped them (.tgz) and it left a .tar.
Tar wouldnt then work.

I really need some help here. I have wasted to mush time here.
