I tried running "redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig" but results were exactly the
same. The BIOS is set to select the PCI card.
Thanks,

Intel i845 is
completely unsupported in Red Hat Linux 8.0. You
require CVS XFree86
for this to work.

All ATI Rage 128 hardware should
work out of the box. Just run:
redhat-config-xfree86
--reconfig
Assuming you've disabled the onboard video, it should just
work
without fuss.
Hope this helps,
