Red Hat 7.2 and X with KDE or Gnome worked on this machine. A comparison between the XF86Config generated by Red Hat and the same file generated by FreeBSD 4.5 reveals differences. I tried using the same Vert and Horz settings but the screen shows only a greenish blah of tight vertical lines quenchable only with Ctl-Alt-Bcksps.
