xf86config for zt1190

Hi,
I've successfully installed R.H 7.2 on zt1190 but as usual I'm having problems in configuring X. After some tweaking I got a half screen display. Can anybody please provide me the details about the video card used in zt1190.
If you have managed to configure X already on zt1190 I would appreciate if you can give me your xf86config file.

Thanks,
Edwin

See these two sites from XFree86:
I would probably definitely upgrade
to XFree86 4.2. Looks like the
Savage card is supported.

Post your screen spec's /etc/lilo.conf
and your /etc/XF86Conf file. The
worst one could do is drop to good
old vesa mode :-)

Thanks JD. Yes 4.2 supports savage4 card and it works like a dream. Finally I managed to configure allmost all the features ( sound, wireless, X etc ) on linux. Good god I don't need to boot into XP!
