here's the solution i used for my ati card (ati 3d expression+pc2tv/ati
mach64)
insert installation cdrom into your drive and use following commands:
mount /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
rpm -ivh --force XFree86-Mach64 -3.3.1-15.i86.rpm
now use Xconfigurator to configure X...and startx
I also used MetroX which was so much easier!
