Its worse than you think.

For non-standard equipment you don't just have to get the drivers, you have
to make a custom kernel (the group of programs that are actually linux) that
includes the drivers.
Building a new kernel is then just a matter of following a script which
sends you to the correct directories and calls the correct source code and
the C compiler to create a unique version of linux for your computer
hardware. [This is worth doing anyway because the 'standard' kernel is full
of stuff you don't need and its optimized for a 386, not a Pentium II or
!!!].  Compiling a new kernel takes about an hour on a 450MHz Celeron with
user intervention required at the beginning and about halfway through.

You will need to get Xwindows version 4 for newer video cards - your 2 year
old redhat 6 will only have Xwindows 3.2 at best, way out of date.

Get a newer version of linux.
Search on the net for suppliers of GPR versions - these are just a (full) CD
for about $5 mail order without the fancy packaging and book.  Make sure the
distribution you get has Xwindows 4.x

Bye.

        Hi!

        Komusta mga PICLISTERS!
        Greetings!

        Well, I'm Here OT again....

        Recently, I installed the REDHAT 6.0 Linux.
        Now the problem is that I don't know the following on how to
configure:
        1. Video card to select into higher resolution
        2. sound card (my soundcard is a Labway Xwave 3000 PCI)
        3. FM Tuner card (AKTIV radio)

        Do I have to install the FM tuner card driver for linux?

        Please help me....Thanks.

        Best regards,
