RH update

[Chris]

Well, I tried startx after I did ctrl-alt-f1, but an X session was already running
(the login screen), so that didn't help, but I believe I have another idea to
help,   I ran vncserver, and I got an error message, then the shole system locked
up, so it seems to be in the audio driver for my sound card, I will try removing
that in the BIOS and see if it comes up....   This isn't the first time the audio
has been an issue on this mobo with Linux.  Seems someone doesn't know how to
write the correct audio driver for the VIA audi chip.

Thanks again for your help.

Chris
