I have an on-board video card that has caused constant problems during installations - the last straw is that I cannot get through the RedHat 7.1 installation - Xserver seems to crash the entire installation.
I'm wondering if there is a way for me add a PCI video card and not use the on-board card?
The system is an older Digital Celebris GL 6180 Pentium Pro 180 - unfortunately, it is a proprietary case and board arrangement, so upgrading the motherboard is out.
The on-board video card is a Matrox Millenium MGA 2064W (2MB - not shared RAM) and should use the XF86_SVGA server. Yes, this card is on the RedHat HCL and should be fully compatible.
Can I buy a plain PCI video card (that is also on the HCL), add it to the system and use it rather than the on-board card? Will the RedHat installation still see the on-board card and try to use it?
Thanks for your input!!
