Hmmm....
There was a post to linuxmanagers earlier today, which I append.
I guess a quick check to make SURE the chipset is supported and X is
easy to install is justified

Hi All: 

I am trying to install RH 7.3 on Compaq Evo D510 (basic configuration) for
EDA use. 

 <http://www.compaq.co.uk/products/desktops/evo/d510/minitower/index.stm>
http://www.compaq.co.uk/products/desktops/evo/d510/minitower/index.stm

After installation + reboot - GUI did not come up. 

I assume it has something to do with graphic card so I run 'setup' and try
to configured the X configuration. 
It keep reporting that it encounter error. 

Can some tell me what the likely problems is? 

I have installed redhat successfully on older models of mini desktops from
Compaq and never had this problem. 

I need to get this machine up and running soon. 

Rgds, 


Min Oo
