Hi,
I had the same problem with RH8 and XF86 4.2.0-72
Thanks for your email exchanges (David/Rex) I got
this to work with All In Wonder Radeon 7500.
I added the "crt_screen" option to my XF86Config
to get it to work.
The real story is this:
May be some one finds this useful.
I had RH6+Win98, I bought AIW 7500, upgraded to RH8
and it "just worked" (except for video out/tv)
But then I went back to 98 - did some 20 odd reinstalls
of ATI software, searched everywhere and got the
Video-out+capture to work. In the process I had
changed my BIOS settings to say "PnP OS" and
explicitly specified Address/IRQs for the "serial port"
and "parallel port" instead of leaving it at "AUTO".
Almost every reinstall on Win98, I would go back and
forth between Linux and Win98.
And then I set to work on the TV tuner on Win98.
The very minute this started working on Win98..
My XServer wouldn't come up -- complaing about
"no screens found". I am sure this is the only
change I did.. the tv tuner thing.. to cause it
to fail.. and for some reason I am tempted to
tie the two.. The card going into some insane state or something??
Finally "crt_screen" helped me. Note that I did not
have this option before I got the tv tuner to work-
everything was indeed working fine.
Thanks any way.. I am a happy man for the time being.

OK - Upgrading to XFree-4.3.0-8 fixed the 'no screens found' error. I can
now start X but the display is 'pale' - it looks like the contrast is wrong.
I cannot adjust the monitor to correct it
