Hi there !

Having just installed RH 7.2 (Enigma) (kernel 2.4.7-10) on a HP Compaq
Pentium 4, with a HP71-17" monitor (HP8901, HR: 31-70 KHz ; VR: 50-120
Hz), my video card was not reckognized. True enough, it does not appear
in the list of HERCULES cards that are reckognized automatically by this
system.Trials using SVGA generics, have led nowhere. After many
attempts, I have just been able to configure this as 'generic VGA 16',
which gives despicable results.

Where can I find a driver for that HERCULES 3D PROPHET 4500 card ? I
would prefer not to have to upgrade to RH 8 or 9.

If such a driver is not available, could someone please tell me if there
would be a way to configure that card using tricks such as that of
configuring it as generic something, or as a similar model that is
listed ? I don't even know what kind of video card it is !

Thanks in advance for any hint
