[TriLUG] Has anybody successfully installed RedHat 7.2 onto a Winbook XL?

[Roy Vestal]

That notebook uses a C&T chipset number 68554. You will need to use XFree86
version 3.3.6. Version  4.x.x doesn't work correctly with the C&T chipsets.
I would recommend reading www.xfree86.org docs.  The TriLUG firewall laptop
has a C&T and I had to learn this the hard way.

Hope this helps.
