ATI Rage Pro and XFree86

Hi,

I am getting very frustated here.  I installed Redat Linux 6.0 on my
computer almost two weeks ago.  The installation went fine and it
works at the unix promt level.  If I want to get into xfree, my
monitor goes blank.  

Here is my configuration:

IBM Aptiva
PII - 266 mhz
64 meg ram
6.2 gb hd - partitioned 4gb win98/1.5gb linux/200mb linux swap
CD/DVD drive (Hitachi)
CD-RW (Sony)

ATI 3D Rage Pro (2mb) built onto the motherboard
Creative Labs Voodoo2 (8mb) connected to the ATI output

IBM 2138 MM75 Multimedia monitor (built in speakers and microphone)

When I run XF86Config, I setup my mouse and keyboard with no problem.
When it comes time to choose my vide card, I choose the ATI 3D Rage
Pro that is on the list.  This makes my default Xwindows server the
MACH64 (which makes sense).  I then configure my monitor manually
(H-freq. 30.0-69.0  and V-freq 50.0-160.0)

Whenever I try to run xwindows (startx) my screen goes blank (just
like when it is in powersave/screensave mode).  I have tried just
about everything that I can think of but still cannot get this to
work.

Please help.

Thanks

John

PS:  If anyone has successfully setup the ATI Rage Pro card, I would
appreciate it if you can email me your config file so I can use it as
a reference.
