i installed linux 9 (text install) video: ATI all-in-wonder
successful install, but when the GUI will not start. the monitor reads: frequency out of range.
so i started in text mode and tried to run redhat-config-xfree86 but the same message appeared on monitor.

It sounds like your monitor configuration is not right 1) You will need the horizontal and vertical sync rates for your monitor 2) log in as root 3) you need to use a text editor that will work in text mode. 4) Edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file 5) Look for a section like this: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Unprobed Monitor" HorizSync 30.0 - 110.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 Option "dpms" EndSection 6) Modify the HorizSync and VertRefresh ranges to be correct for your monitor 7) Save and exit editor 8) Try redhat-config-xfree86 again (you may have to reboot before you do this)

Try using "xf86config" (enter that at a command prompt) to set up the /etc/X11/XF86Config file. Good luck.
