I am a newbie to Linux, trying to learn my way around Linux (unix).  I just
bought the boxed set of Redhat 4.0, and discovered that Metro_X does not
support my graphics card, an ATI Graphics Pro (Mach64) with 2 Meg of VRAM. 
Can anyone tell me which RPMs I should download and how I should install them
to get xfree86 v3.2?

On a more general note, is there any good documentation which describes *where* 
all the configuration files are located, their *interactions* and the 
*definitions* of their fields.  It seems to me that a few diagrams with 
interactions defined would make linux far more accessible to a simple-minded 
newbie like me.

Yours Truly,
Matiss
