Strange, I have the following in my XF86Config file:
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
# Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256
#Device "Generic VGA"
Device "NVidia / SGS Thomson|Riva128"
Monitor "Magnavox MV5011(15inch/CM1300)"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
It worked with the stock RH6.1 release. I use OpenWindows for my X
and have zero problems with Xterms. The XFree86 that I have is:
XFree86-3.3.5-3
So, I can't explain why you are having trouble.
