There is a X update which includes new drivers and Riva TNT is one of them.
I have had no problem with it on
RH 6.0.

You will have to be more specific.  I am working on a rivafb driver,
available in my 2.3.x "jg-fb" patches at

I have the Diamond Viper V550 (RIVA TNT) running, but YOU HAVE TO
INSTALL A NEW X SERVER !

ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.3.1/

install the XFree system and the new SVGA server... it auto detect
your RIVA and uses hardware acceleration ..
