I've narrowed it down to the XFree86 drivers that are boxed with RH7.1
are faulty in a big way.
Selecting the AGP driver for the ATI Radeon and attempting to startx
will bring the entire box to a halt. i tried installing again and once
again - with the correct video configuration, the monitor loses signal,
but the box itself does not power down. however, after pinging the box
from another machine on my lan - it appears as though it bimbs the
entire machine (and yes, my lan IS working)
Xfree86's web site has been down, so i don't know if there is a newer
release than the one boxed with Rh7.1
any help would eb much appreciated. VGA16 works just dandy - but it's
ugly as sin. and as i noted earlier, the graphical setup works fine -
so i am unsure as to why X would kill the box like that. i would
assume the anaconda config would detect the correct video card and use
the correct drvers for that.
