Hello to all,
I am new to fedora, as I will need help and hope for solutions, I am
also prepared to help anyway I can,
My name is Chad I work for Pinnacle Micro and we are the third largest
manufacturer of PCs in South Africa, Our brand is called PROLINE and we
compete with  Mecer and HP.

Our goal for the year is to launch a Proline Linux Range of PCs offering
a stable user friendly distro.

Here goes the first two issues,

MSi P4NAM mainboard

S3 ProSavage onboard VGA using the km133 driver. 
This driver appears to probe the monitor incorrectly, causing the
monitor to switch off (orange light), I tried using the vesa drivers as
a substitute but the whole system becomes unstable, I had the same
experience with RH9 ( Strange!;-/ )
In mandrake9.2 the driver has no issues.
Where can I get source code for the driver, I will try and compile my
own.

Here are the chip-set specs
