I you're using Fedora, try downloading a package from an earlier release, maybe: http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/fedora/linux/releases/19/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/x/xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.6.2-7.fc19.i686.rpm IIRC, I got one F20 installation working downloading the mageia driver manually and using rpm's force option to install it, and ignoring the error messages. If you can't use a distro providing the software you need, maybe you'd be better off sticking an eBay radeon or nvidia PCI video card in it if it has no AGP or PCIe slot. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
