Which is the supported video driver for Wipro WIV36255 Desktop/Workstation?

Updated -

Resolution: The default video driver on a Wipro WIV36255 Desktop/Workstation is "RADEON_TP" which is a tech-preview only driver for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2. The users of this hardware system are advised to re-configure and use "vesa" driver for Red Hat support on any issues for this system model. This Knowledgebase article may become obsolete in future when RADEO_TP becomes a supported driver in any of the upcoming minor releases in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

At present to change to the "vesa" driver use the following procedure or contact Red Hat Global Support for more help:

  1. Login as root to a console, or switch user to root in a graphical terminal, run the following command:

     # system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=vesa
     
    
  2. Log out of the session and restart X by either ctrlaltbackspace or reboot.
