When it tries to start XFree86 it gives me that there are screens found but no 
one is apropriate. I use ATI Radeon 7500. Before I had VooDoo 3 2000 and did 
not have any problems. After I change it with ATI RADEON 7500 I cannot run 
XFree86.

This looks more like a misconfiguration on your part, or misunderstanding
of how to swap video cards and reconfigure X properly.

Please attach your config file so I can see it.

This is the configuration file.
Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2002-11-11 04:32:54 UTC 
xf86config is not a supported configuration tool.  The proper config
tool is "redhat-config-xfree86".  I've got a number of Radeon 7500 cards
which all work on x86, and Itanium (AGP).

This isn't a bug, it is a configuration issue.
