I'd also thing VBE + fbdev might work but have no direct experience.
Red hat linux iso for virtualbox driver#
If you can find an updated driver package, that might be a way. Seems that Red Hat 7 was where the graphics support was greatly improved. But that only gives you slow and ugly 16-color 640x480 resolution.Īnd sadly no, there's no VMware SVGA support in 6.2. This can be fixed by adding a line 'Clocks 25.2' to Section "Device"/Identifier "Generic VGA Card" in /etc/X11/XF86Config. This junk was SO BAD and it took them so long fix it. Mode says it needs 25.175 MHz dot clock, driver says it only supports 28 MHz. Oh yeah, the VGA XFree86 setup is busted, the driver doesn't load ("There is no defined dot-clock matching mode 640x480"). It would be possible to adapt the XFree86 SVGA driver to support the VirtualBox emulated graphics device.ĭoes RH 6.2 support the VMware SVGA, or is it too old for that? Because that might work with VirtualBox. Yes, the Guest Additions require a considerably newer guest OS.

The VGA16 drivers really really should work.Īnything better. Is this one of those things where it's just too old for virtualization to be adequate, and I'll just have to keep buying old Pentium IIs with video cards that Red Hat 6 supports? athenian200 Posts: 2 Joined: 15.

I don't get why everything seems to insist on a newer version of Linux, when it seems like one of the main reasons to virtualize something is precisely because software you need doesn't work on the newer stuff. it didn't recognize my kernel or my version of X, and talked about some package manager called yum when I'm using rpms. So, is there anything I could use to get X working? I did try installing the guest additions, but they seem like they require a newer OS. I really can't use a newer version of Linux for what I want to do without an insane amount of tweaking and patching that I really don't want to deal with. which makes X very, very difficult to use because most applications expect at least 640x480. And the problem is that the driver forces a built-in 320x200 resolution. The only video driver that works for X is the SVGA driver. I'm able to get the OS installed and running (after swapping out the virtual SATA drive for an IDE one), but there's a slight problem. I tried to keep an old K6-2 system around as long as I could to run this old version of Red Hat (and the game), but the PSU died. Over the years, it's become harder and harder to get any version of Linux into a compatibility mode that supports the game, until now it's basically impossible. It's extremely specific and won't work with the next major version up.

If you upgrade the kernel, the glibc, or anything else, the game stops working. I have a game from Loki Games I purchased around the year 2000 that is nearly impossible to run on anything newer than Red Hat 6.x, and it's not open source. We are looking for experts/users of Red Hat to interview for 30 minutes (online) to gather some primary data and better insights on the critical aspects.
Kernel: Linux 2.2.14-5.0 #1 Tue Mar 7 21:07: i686 Hi all, We are a group of graduate students from Copenhagen Business School conducting a strategy research on Red Hat focusing on its platform-based business model and its open-source nature. XFree: XFree 3.3.6, protocol version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300 More information on each of these Linux Distributions is available if you're interested in learning about their features and different editions such as Desktop, Server / Enterprise, LiveCD or NetBook / IoT.Guest: Red Hat 6.2 (Zoot from the year 2000, NOT RHEL) Learn HowTo create an ISO image file with Linux.
Once you download the image, you can use software to recreate the physical installation media. These images are usually freely available online. As an example, most distributions of Linux release ISO images of the installation CDs. ISO images are mainly used as source files from which to create CDs.
Image files, unlike normal files, are usually not opened rather, they are mounted.Īn ISO image (.iso) is simply a CD-ROM image saved in ISO-9660 format. This file not only contains individual data files, but it also contains track and sector information and arranges all this information in a file system, just like disk media. In the context of files and programs, an "image", whether an ISO or other media image, is simply a file that can be used as an identical copy of the original media. Listed below are links to Linux ISO Image Downloads for the most popular Linux distributions. All that is required is sufficient drive space, software to write the ISO image and a bootable media such as CD/DVD or USB flash drive.

Linux ISO images are an efficient way to download and install any Linux distribution.
