Maybe this is a good time for someone to tell me if I'm doing anything stupid here. The next 2 files I changed are in /usr/share/hwdata/. I don't know if both changes were required. I fetched the latest pci.ids file from http://pciids.sf.net/ because the file doesn't have the IDs for the 9600XT. (not even sure what uses this) Then I added these lines to the Cards file: NAME ATI Radeon 9600 XT CHIPSET R300 DRIVER radeon LINE #Option "nodri" After this I ended up rebooting (don't know if this is required but the system locked up) After which I noticed that redhat-config-xfree86 started detecting both my monitor and videocard correctly. A problem then arose with the radeon driver. Xwindows would lock up after I started it. There are a few bugs open that appear to be this issue. Ond clued me in to setting Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy" in the Screen section of the XF86Config file. A couple bugs are 109256 and 108729.
