Oops.  I'll check the Xfree86 users' mailing list.

I tried to set it to radeon but it froze on the startup splash screen 
before it loaded any of the modules.

I couldn't find redhat-config-display.

I have another Linux box that's hooked up to the same monitor, keyboard 
and mouse.  It has Fedora Core 1 32 bit and was able to recognize them.  
So I used the XF86Config from that machine and changed the video driver 
to vesa.

How do I find the PCI ID and what do I put in the XF86Config file?
