I have just installed RedHat Linux 2.1 on my Dell gx260 desktop.
Can only view linux o/s as text.
Video card is Intel 3D Graphics card.
What video card would you recomend for Redhat Advanced Server 2.1 ?

Your suggestions would be most helpful.

Thanx
Pitty

Are you sure you're supposed to be able to?

Server OSes might not install X (Xfree86, the graphics server most commonly used in Linuxes).

Make sure you have X and a window manager installed. Redhat might not include them in standard server install.

Anyway, your graphics card should be supported in X, nearly all are.
