I installed Redhat Linux 5.1 and select the stb velocity 128 as the video
card. Upon running startx, I get a frozen black screen.

The unaccelerated Xsuse server worked fine???

any ideas?

Yes, it sounds like an IRQ conflict. Check that the card isn't
conflicting with something else. The following might help: if you run
Windows, checking settings there; check your kernel configuration;
check bootup messages; "cat /proc/interrupts"; allow your BIOS to
assign an IRQ to the card; and physically move cards around. I didn't
have to do most of these things myself, but I've heard they work.

Good luck,
Reid

I don't see an IRQ assigned in the /proc/interupts. I am assuming this has
to do with the card being AGP. I will try your other suggestions.

Thanks for the advice!
