Hi all! I'm new here because of my new Presario 2156EA(ATI Radeon Mobility 64Mb shared DDR). I've XP and Red Hat 8.0 (2.4.18) on my lap. I have a "simple" question for you: what is the actual best driver solution for the video card to run with XFree86? Actually I've a vesa driver installed at 1024x768 24bit, but I've the problem that XServer restarts everytime I make a CTRL-ALT-F1... Anyone with a better solution?
Maybe updating your X server could help. If I'm not wrong, Rethat 8 uses XFree86 4.2. Updating to XFree 4.3 or installing Redhat 9 (which uses XFree 4.3) is a good idea.
By the way, redhat 9 solves a lot of troubles of redhat 8. I suggest to update your whole system, not only to get the X server work properly.
CTRL-ALT-F1 is supposed to take you to command or text mode.
Since Red Hat 9 started out as Red Hat 8.1(big bug fix), I think the upgrade wise whether it solves this problem or not.
