Hmm. The X server is detecting about 50 S3 video cards in your system, and complaining because there is no configuration for each card. Presumeably you have 1 S3 card and not 50 however. I do not actually have this particular video hardware, so solving this problem will require a bit of troubleshooting on your end to try to narrow down the problem. Can you downgrade all of the XFree86 packages back to the original one that shipped with Red hat Linux 9, and attach the X server log file and config file from your previously working setup? The difference between the two might shed some clues. After that, I recommend keeping the original XFree86 (not the update) installed while we do some further troubleshooting to narrow the problem down. TIA
I'm kind of new to Linux - can you please give me a pointer to how to downgrade all teh XFree86 packages back to the original? I think I have an X server log and config from my previous working setup. I'll attach those next.
