don't install rh9. or, if you must use it, do a text-based install, and then install nvidia's linux drivers before starting x windows.

Re: video Card Problem in Redhat 9.0
Hello Mr Zaheer
Nvidia new crads are creating some problem on linux 9 i prefer u to use fedora core 4 or Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 or later to solve this problem automatically
I would say installing the NVIDIA drivers was one of the easiest things I have done...kudos to them for making it so simple.
after that
# service xfs restart
# redhat-config-xfree86
otherwise try out this
If you are installing a distro, install in text-only mode. When you boot for the first time after installing, make sure to enter into runlevel 2. To do this (assuming GRUB as your bootloader), when GRUB comes up, edit the command that boots the system, and tack on 'init 2' to the end. This will give you a single-user console bootup process.
(2) Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config (or, if your distro is using it, XF86Config-4). Find the section marked "Device" and add to it the last two lines (with my comments).
Save your XF86Config file and fire up X by typing 'startx'. This worked for me, YMMV. Next time you boot, you may have to re-edit your GRUB bootline and remove the 'init 2' thing.
I've seen lots of people asking desperately about this, and I didn't find any clear answers, so I thought I'd post this and save other people the five days of Linux-less that I recently endured
Best Regards !

- init 3
- sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg1.run
- vi /etc/X11/XF86Config
- Find the Device section and replace either Driver "nv" or Driver "vesa" with Driver "nvidia".
- In the Module section, make sure you have Load "glx"
- Remove Load "dri" and Load "GLcore" (if you have them).
- init 5
after that
# service xfs restart
# redhat-config-xfree86

Code: Select all

Driver "nv"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)"
Option "FlatPanel" "true" # without this it thinks it's in CRT-land
Option "CrtcNumber" "1" # without this it may try to use the analog VGA out

If you're going to use Fedora Core just for the sake of your display card, I will recommend not using any Fedora Core. especially when you're going to run Oracle on it, reason being that its an experimental distribution which experiments on the unsuspecting users ie, the ones who use Fedora Core.
I am going to assume you are setting it up as a server, and in that case you should try StartCom AS 4.0.0 Barak.
It is based on updated RedHat EL sources, and is our current recommendation for people using RedHat Linux.
CDs can be ordered from LinuxPakistan http://www.linuxpakistan.net/software
Be sure to scroll down to the end of the page for a map of physical location, in case you wish to visit.
Startcom EL comes with free automatic update from StartCom's update network.
If you can afford to pay for RedHat EL, then you should order a RedHat EL 4.0 for $1400 + $100 shipping to Pakistan .
