Hi,
I installed Red Hat 5.2 a month ago and have been trying to configure
xwindows since.
My video card (MWave with SiS 6205 chipset) and monitor (IBM G50) are
not listed which leaves me no choice except experimenting with different
config options.

I know my system is capable of a proper display. When I type 'XF86Config
' at Linux prompt to initiate x configuration, I get a perfect screen
but things fall apart once I finish the configuration phase and exit.
Linux then starts the server and I end up getting a very small screen on
either VGA16 0r SVGA.

Any ideas?

Regards J.K.
