What version of Linux are you trying to use? Look for a file called xorg.conf in your "/etc/X11" directory. Inside there should be a section toward the bottom that looks similar to (but not exactly like) this:
Code:Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Radeon" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection
Code:su <enter> Password: <type your root password, then enter> nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

So Fedora Core 5 ?
How did you install the ATI drivers in the first place ?
Did you do it like that ?

Update...
Thank you so much for your help so far guys, it's just nice to see someone replied (especially to an old Windows div like me!) Just to confirm, it's Fedora Core 5. and on install (can't remember exactly when) as millions of things fly past, it does say that the graphics card is regognised as ATI x700 PCI-E but monitor is unknown.
Awaiting your instructions....
Thanks Again, I really appreciate this.
