Still no solution? We've ordered three systems with this motherboard, 
and I sure would like to have the onboard graphics working.

I  know the VESA driver does the job, but I can't use 85Hz at 1600x1200 
with this card, it can do, however, 85Hz at 1280x1024. But I don't want 
to use that on my 21" CRT.

On VIA's site there are drivers for Red Hat 8 en 9, and Mandrake, but 
not for Fedora. There has to be a way to use this graphics chipset. I 
have heard it is some kind of S3 Savage chipset.
