We are aware of the following message in Red Hat Linux 7.1 which appears on clicking either on the Trash or Home Directory Icon: "You are running the Gnome file manager as root. As root you can damage your system and the file manager will not stop you. Your manual explains how to add a non privileged user account to the system. Don't show this message again." I checked in the box by the message Don't show this message again" and tried to clicking on OK, the above message reoccured so I tried to close the window and noticed CONTINOUS FLASHING WHITE SCREENS. I re-downloaded the image the second time and noticed the same FLASHING WHITE SCREENS.

what video card is in this system?
Video controller chip is ATI RAGE XL. Following is the information read from this chip: 215R3LASB41. D49143 0013SS Also Video DRAM is 4MB Video SDRAM.
Unfortunately, I don't have this board in house, so I can't test against it directly. If you disable acceleration (add Option "no_accel" to the Device section), performance will go down, but it may not exhibit the video corruption issue. Can you test this for me please? If it works, I will disable acceleration for this card. I also need the PCI ids for this card, which can be output with: lspci and for descriptive output: lspci -v I need both.
Also, does Xconfigurator --preferxf3 work for you?
Created attachment 14523 [details] output of lspci
can I please also have the output of lspci -n?
Also, can you test and see if the XFree86 3.3.6 server (XFree86-Mach64) works with this card? Install that package, and do a Xconfigurator --preferxf3.
