Hi, I solved my problem with the S3Trio64V2/DX card, it is not the best but at least I have a screen now.
I tried the Xserver 4.3.0 in the RedHat 8.0 distribution. But that gave the same error mesage: fatal server error: no screens found When I use the VESA (generic) driver I get a screen. Both with the Xserver 4.3.0 and with the original RedHat 8.0 distribution (Xserver 4.2.??). In Red Hat the driver is found under the "Other" drivers. So if Red Hat proposes S3Trio64V2/DX, do not choose that, but choose "Other", VESA (generic).
