When I attempt to install Red Hat Linux 9.0.93 on my AMD Athlon XP system which has an ASUS GeForce FX 5200 video card, the installer gets as far as: Waiting for start X server to start...log located in /tmp/X.log Then the screen goes blank and the monitor enters suspend mode. Looking in /tmp/X.log, I see: (EE) Failed to load module glx (module does not exist, 0) (EE) Failed to load module record (module does not exist, 0) The modules in /tmp/XF86Config.text (just in case it's relevant) are: dbe extmod fbdevhw glx record freetype type1 Attempting to start an X server with the "vesa" driver fails, but the "nv" driver seems to work. The "nv" driver is automatically detected when running "XFree86 -configure", but I presume the installer always uses the "vesa" driver, and it seems this driver does not work with that version of X (XFree86 4.3.0 9 May 2003).
This sounds like it was solved in bug 99535.
Could you provide the lspci -n information for your video card?
