Rhel6 uses a recent kernel, and probably there will be no need for a video4linux package for quite some time. Furthermore, I only saw this problem on Rhel5, and I really did not investigate further. I installed rhle6 on two notebooks and one desktop, and it is just like an F12 system. The problems are an old kde/qt, which makes compilation difficult some times (no Amarok yet), and a gnome that does not save the windows in their original workspace (always in the first workspace). As a multimedia desktop, rhel6 does not compare with Fedora because there are hundreds of missing useful applications. This is what I had to compile myself to have a system mimicking my Fedora's environment (besides what comes from epel/atrpms): http://orion.lcg.ufrj.br/RPMS/myrpms-el6-x86_64/lcgrpms/ -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
