Reading further it is clear that you are installing Xfree. If you are new to this whole thing I would do the following, not because it is quick but because it is informative. 1. Go to the Xfree web site and read the relevant man pages, you can also get the most recent files there. 2. When you select the correct library lib6 or lib5 read the list of files to download. 3. Initially set up the VGA server. At least on the current Xfree code it works fine (on an I7K). This will get you through a basic Xfree install. It is something you are likely to need to do again so it is good practice. Also, there are a minimal set of unknowns in the previous procedure. Once you have done this you can go on to load patches, new kernels, whatever you want to try and achieve a usable resolution. Note if you have an I3K.x then this is all irrelevant. I would imagine that is not what you have since X would have worked out of the box with RedHat.
