    problem with installing graphics driver in redhat enterprise version 4

    I installed redhat version4 in my hp540 but the maximum resolution selection was only 800x 600 , due to which after booting i am not getting a full screen.... I downloaded a graphics driver from intel site and started installing it but i got stuck. The error msg is smthng related to xorg server and as i am very new to linux i am not able to solve it . For installing, i first unzipped the file in /home/usrname/src directory and then did ./config .It gave an error msg (i have posted all the msgs it displayed after running ./config command ) as follows:

    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xorg-server.pc'

    No package 'xorg-server' found
    configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server xproto fontsproto ) were not met:

    Please help.
    Please do also suggest the procedure for installing sound driver.

    Which Graphics Card do you have and which Driver are you using right now?

    Code:
    grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    su -
    /sbin/lspci | grep -i vga
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    "vesa" driver should work fine. Have you set supported HorizSync and VertRefresh rates in Monitor section of xorg.conf file?
    Try "i810" instead of "vesa" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. In case it doesn't work, post the contents of file here.
