I just installed RedHat 5.0 and am having a problem starting X Window. I
ran Xconfigurator and that went ok. I then typed startx and the screen goes
black then I get some errors saying there is not enough video memory and
some errors saying No server installed. I have a STB Mpact Video Card with
4 MB memory. Thanks for your help.

you need to install an Xserver such as XF86_S3 or XF86_SVGA. the
server is what controls X. try...

ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /var/X11R6/bin/X
ln -sf /var/X11R6/bin/X /ussr/X11R6/bin/X

this will load XF86_SVGA as your Xserver. make sure it exists in your
/usr/X11R6/bin/ path. this command also assumes your Xservers reside
in these paths.

if you don't have any Xservers installed you'll need to get one (or 2)
from your red hat cd.
