Hi,

Any pointers/suggestions would be warmly welcome.

1. I'm trying to install Red Hat Linux on a Compaq Armada 1750
6366/T/6400/D/M/3 laptop computer;
2. I'm having problems configuring my X environment;
3. Specifically my suite of software doesn't seem to support a Mach64
server for a
ATI 3D RAGE Pro AGP 2X video card.

Do you know where I could source the necessary upgrade
software/configuration?

Have you've ever tried installing and configuring Linux on a Compaq
Armada 1750?

Many thanks in advance.

What version of RedHat are you using? 6.0 and later support both Mach32 and
64 cards. The standby when you get this sort of problem is to use SVGA16
Xserver which is quite a handy server. To get to it you need to use
XF86Setup and from the list of servers choose SVGA16 as the server to use.
You may need to install it first. In fact you probably do not have the
Mach64 server installed in the first place so you might install that too!
