COngrats on installing openchrome rpm.now u know how to save and install rpm.
what that failed rpm is saying is it needs latest libdrm.
download and install(Heeeey!Fedora/rpm users tell him about YUM!) latest libdrm rpm here.now these all are wanted for ur Linux distro to have 3d gfx support.some more dependency rpms are need to be installed as u are installing manually.for eg:mesa-utils etc
download below files and install as earlier.(rpm -Uvh xasds.rpm)
*download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/libdrm-2.3.0-1.fc6.i386.rpm
*download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/mesa-libGL-6.5.1-9.fc6.i386.rpm
*download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/

with DRI(a 3d system for unix*) u can have smoother graphics,3d support etc.with all these installed u can check for DRI be smooth by running "glxgears"(run from a terminal) -I suppose is bundled in fedora.if not install the rpm from:
*download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/glx-utils-6.5.1-9.fc6.i386.rpm

now edit ur /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure it has dri loaded:
Code: 
Section "Module"
        Load    "bitmap"
        [U]Load    "dbe"
        Load    "dri"[/U]
        Load    "ddc"
        Load    "extmod"
        Load    "freetype"
        [U]Load    "glx"[/U]
        Load    "int10"
        Load    "vbe"
EndSection
save and restart X.

@Freebird the third link:*download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...pdates/6/i386/ points to a page full of rpm's which rpm to download & install?

Download and install below rpms while installing if error showing dependecies,just download those dep rpms from that directory link i gave.
*download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/libdrm-2.3.0-1.fc6.i386.rpm
*download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/glx-utils-6.5.1-9.fc6.i386.rpm

^after installing these rpms.edit as per my earlier post /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure it has dri loaded.now if u can get into GNOME GUI,u can open a text editor unlike nano to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
for that in a terminal:
Code: 
~$su -
^ give root's passwd (remember u reset passwd for root)
Now u'll get a "#" prompt for root(u get admin power via terminal)
Code: 
~# gedit  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
now in gedit text editor browse to section similar to:

Code: 
Section "Module"
        Load    "bitmap"
        [U]Load    "dbe"[/U]
       [B][U] Load    "dri"[/U][/B]
        Load    "ddc"
        Load    "extmod"
        Load    "freetype"
        [U]Load    "glx"[/U]
        Load    "int10"
        Load    "vbe"
EndSection
make sure ur xorg.conf looks same as above.
Also check for sure section "device" looks as below,if necessary edit.

as openchrome wiki suggests these values and these are necessary if u wanna try Compiz/Beryl 3d etc :
Code: 
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "via"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option          "EnableAGPDMA" "On"
        Option          "AccelMethod" "exa"
        Option "ExaScratchSize" "8192"
        Option "MaxDRIMem" "16384"
        Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
EndSection
save this (CTRL+S) and restart X or reboot.
Now after reboot,login to GNOME.press ALT+F2 to get a run dialog.Inside run dialog enter below command and run:
Code: 
glxgears
if u see smooth gears rotating like below pic,you got DRI acceleration working,is a huge benefit than earlier 2D acceleration.
if at any doubt attach ur /etc/X11/xorg.conf here.(there is an option to attach files by renaming them to .txt here in the thread).
Openchrome works very nice in Ubuntu Feisty.Hope U also got 3D rendering working.below glxgears pic:

yeah it's the same. Only gedit might not be available, use kate instead.

OK try this
download the attached file to your Desktop directory then run the following commands
Code: 
su -
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
cp ~/Desktop/Xorg.txt
Now restart your X server
Just in case it doesn't work copy back your old xorg.conf, here's the command
Code: 
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf

@Cool G5:
You really dont have xorg.conf file.Do You have the GUI,GNOME working?
if u get GUI working(?),then try from a terminal as root(#)
Code: 
:~#system-config-display
You choose the correct resolution etc.
^^I dont think this will work if u dont have working GUI.

Now to generate an /etc/X11/xorg.conf in ur system,try the command:
Press CTRL+ALT+F1 to get a TTY;login as root.
then:
Code: 
~#killall gdm
afterwards run:
Code: 
~#Xorg   -configure
afterwards have a look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit for openchrome to work edit the device section on the file,make sure driver is "via".check my earlier posts and view the attached /etc/X11/xorg.conf below:
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=786&d=1176445896

Now run "gdm" in the console screen and wait for ur gdm to load,hopefully working :)

As mentioned earlier I don't have GNOME installed.I use KDE.
The code system-config-display was tried by me earlier when it was not only booting into GUI.I corrected the reolution etc.
And what is TTY:confused:

^ No problem if u use kde.
And what is TTY
Click to expand...
That is the console login screen you get if u press keyboard control(CTRL)+alt+F1 key.login as root user there;ie; user :root passwd:ur root passwd now u'll get a "#" prompt,there -run the command Xorg -configure and try.

I guess fedora stores it in a different place or by different name then.
try
Code: 
locate xorg.conf
If you get a different location to it, substitute that in my command.

Hi haven't tried ur solution yet.Busy in exams.
But i was wondering will Fedora core 7 solve my problem(I mean graphic card compatibility issue).
Also I heard that Ubuntu 7.04 is good looking & for multimedia so will upgrading to it be good.
I will be mostly using linux to get a feel of it & for some multimedia & net.

No other options for u even with Fedora 7 or Ubuntu.
As i said earlier I too have Via Unichrome Pro IGP gfx which is miserably supported in linux.the only option for newer via cards are *openchrome.org
Only distro which may be going to support some cards is sabayon linux 3.4 which is yet to release.so the options ends here.I have my Debian and Ubuntu display running thx to openchrome.do try it.
