Hi,
We just got some new Dell GX260 machines here are work and I'm supposed to be putting Linux on them. I tried installing RedHat 7.3. It just didn't want to know about the graphics card. I's an onboard Intel DVMT chip. No dedicated memory, it takes it from the onboard RAM.

I was wondering if anybody had gotton these machines and had any luck getting this graphics card working?

When this graphics card didn't work, I installed a PCI Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM card. Xconfigurator auto-detected this and my 21" SUN monitor no problem but whenever it tries to test the configuration it fails and the screen is left with a blue background and all of the text is blue.
Does anybody have any idea what the problem is or how to fix it?
Cheers,
deccy.
