After configuring the software package, the installer asked me to confirm the hardware settings. Most of the defaults were just fine, with one important change. Even though RedHat correctly identified my video graphics card (an ATI IGP 320M) as an ATI, the X Window system won't work with this driver. I had to set the video graphics driver as the generic “vesa.” Once I made this change, the X system loaded and my video display worked fine.
