Since you just installed, I would reinstall using
the driver RH suggested. It may be that the driver for another card works
for you card in Linux. Its worth a try and with Linux, it's never a good
install until you've done it a few times...grin...plus it's good
experience.

Subject: missing video
I have been itching to try linux so I downloaded
red hat 9. burned all three cd's and used those for
the install. the install went fine. red hat detected my
motherboard's video chip (intel 815), but I ignored it because I have an ATI
Radeon 7000 (which according to the hardware list, it's supported). The
ATI card is PCI, so my BIOS is configured to use it instead of my
motherboard's video. As I said, the install went fine, I was able to see
everything on my screen. During the post install configuration, I set up
my ATI card for the video (red hat picked the intel 815 instead, so I selected
the Radeon 7000 from the list). Everything else was fine, so I
rebooted. Red Hat started to boot fine, I was able to watch all those
messages about what it was doing scrolling up my screen, and then my monitor
went blank. The LED next to my monitor's power switch started blinking,
which signified to me that I was no longer getting a video signal. I
also have windows on this machine, so i booted into it to make sure that my
monitor wasn't screwed up. Everything worked fine. What do I need
to do to get red hat to let me see what's going on so that I can use
it?
