Intel,
there were a number of other bugs referring to vesa driver and X not working
properly, which have been fixed recently. Can you try testing this bug with
snapshot #4 which is already live on partners.redhat.com

I believe this is a dupe of bug #205361

Re-opening this bug, because it is happening RHEL 4.7GA and also in RHEL 4.8 Alpha.

Santa Rosa was never supported on RHEL4.

Weybridge was never supported on RHEL4 either.
