CentOS - Dec 2006 - X using ATI ES1000: Failed to create write

I verified with my vendor that indeed we are using an ATI ES1000 Video 
Card, not an Nvidia as previously thought.

I am getting the following error -any suggestions?

(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to set up write-combining range 
(0xf0000000,0x1000000)

Is this a Horizontal/Vertical Sync Range issue?  I have Viewsonic E733 
monitor and am defining it as such in the config.

I am using system-config-display, which comes up just fine with X, but 
getting it to work after the config, it does not.

I'd just grab another card but this is a 2U server so dont have a low 
profile vga card on hand.

You could edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and change the it so that the
video card driver is vesa:

Driver      "vesa"

(that should give you up to 1024x768)

You could also download the driver for that card from ati:
