I've never had any luck with Metro. I've always used XFree and it works well. I have a Sis6236 AGP and it works great under XFree. Go to www.Xfree.org and look at the latest list of hardware supported under XFree 3.3.3. Support for AGP is relatively new in Linux so you need XFree 3.3.3. Also note you'll find that there is a RPM for 5.0 and 5.2. Make sure you get the 5.0 version of 3.3.3. The install is simple.
Good luck!

Howdy Folks:
I am new to this list, so forgive my ignorance if I am sending out
something that has been posted list 5000 times. I did search the
website, and came up with little or nothing... so here goes.
I have just installed RedHat 5.0 on a PII 266 w/ 64meg RAM. My only
problem is now configuring and setting up X.
What do people generally recommend? Should I use the XFree86, or MetroX?
Also, I have a Diamond AGP video card and it doesn't look like it is on
the supported list for even the most recent version of RH. What are
people doing out there to take advantage of their AGP video cards? I
would love to be able to use it and not have to buy another one.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I am trying to
convert this system to a Linux box and want to totally remove Windows
from my system.
Time to force the Wife and the rest of the fam to use unix. :)
Brian
