RH 8.0 working on webplayer (and a few questions)

Got a 6gb in it and got a belkin USB 10/100 ethernet (f5d5050).

Got RedHat 8.0 installed and mostly working. I had 7.3 installed but I couldnt get it to reconize the USB ethernet. RH 8 did, but have a few problems. When I boot or re-start, I have to have it unplugged until I get the login prompt for it to work. After I hook it up, it works fine. If I leave it hooked up when I boot it, pegasus will give me a bunch of errors and it wont work. If anyone has suggestions on how to correct this, please let me know.

I have "alias eth0 pegasus" after "alias usb-interface usb-uhci" in /etc/modules.conf. This got it to reconize my usb ethernet adapter, but like I said it only works if I plug it in after I get to the login prompt.

In RH 7.3 I had no problem getting Xwin to work, but for some reason it is choking on it in RH 8. It keeps saying it cant find a display. Going to delv into this tonight.

No matter what I do, I can not get it to reconize the display as anything other than 300x200. Seems they messed something up with RH8 and the MediaGX chipset.

Do a search of the board - apparently version 4.x of XFree86 still has broken support for the MediaGX chipset. Version 3.x can be made to work (with some tricks in the later versions.)

XFree86.org has just released 4.3 and it appears to have support for the geode. Check it out.

Has anyone tried the new XFree86 4.3 with the webplayer? I'm interested to know if we can do 800x600 with it now.

I installed it on top of mandrake 9 and it appears to work well in 16 bit color.
