I'm not sure if NVIDIA's binary drivers support the GeForce Go FX5600
yet. I heard that they didn't. This chip is supported by the
the "nv" driver that comes with XFree86 4.3 though. RH9 includes
XFree86 4.3. It appears to me that 4.3 has some 1400x1050 modelines
built in too. Sometimes the 4.3 "nv" driver has a hard time
picking the output to use when flat panels are in involved and
you may need to play with the Option "CrtcNumber", but you should
be able to get it to work. CVS autodetects that much better.
You might consider just upgrading to the latest XFree86 CVS
development snapshot.
