I assume you mean Voodoo Banshee, and not a Voodoo2 card (these are
two very different chips). I also assume you got it working with a
more recent release of RH or XFree86. For RedHat 6.0, you either
need to upgrade the whole XFree thing, or add the svga X server
that was modified for the Banshee chip. This special svga server
was only a temporary work-around, as Banshee support has since been
rolled into the main XFree release; RedHat 6.1 or better, and XFree
3.3.5 or better, now support the Voodoo Banshee chip. If it
doesn't pick it up correctly during the install, then you'll need
to run Xconfigurator from a shell prompt to set it up. Don't
forget to check/modify /etc/X11/XF86Config to make sure it's sane.
