Prior to converting to Linux, I established that the one and only

not note down, I am currently in FC4 which has not heard of sax2)
FC4's hardware browser shows me an "Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE
Chipset Integrated Graphics Device".
lspci will show you exactly what kind of chip you've got installed.
What does "hwinfo --framebuffer" say?
You could also try configuring the card manually using sax2 - just run
"sax2 -r". I would expect to see some error messages - also
check /var/log/Sax.log - that might have some clues.
All of this would also be good diags for a bugreport if it turns out
your graphics card/chip really isn't supported.
