I am trying to run XF86 and Metro X of RedHat Linux 5.0 and so far I failed
to get it running.

I have the following hardware:


Motherboard:   TX PRO-II
Processor:     Intel Pentium 200MHz mmx
RAM:           64MB
HD:            IDE 4.3 Gigs Quantum Fireball
Video Card:    Matrox Mystique 2200 MHz, 4MB RAM
Network Card:  3COM 3C509B
Monitor:       Hitachi CM500ET 15"

I have started with configX, and is giving me the following message:

Warning: Cannot convert string "icons/blue-bg" to type Pixmap.
Looking at /var/log/Xerrors and lists:
(--) Screen 0: SVGA
(**) XF86: color depth: 4bpp
..
..
..
..
..
..
..
Cannot open "keyamap/none" for reading
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap.

When runing startx, I have a black screen and I had to reboot.


I tried to run Xconfigurator, PCI probe found a:
PCI Entry: Mystique
X Server : SVGA

After hitting return, I get the following message:

Server doesn't exisit, can't continue.
tried to use ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA
I have tried to use configX but  gave me the same message as above.

Please any help would be grately appreciated.
