In previous battles I have had with redhat I have used the good old Xconfigurator
to force the resolution that is required
my old Transport VLX had a Neomagic card and all one has to do is allow the above
program to do its thing and
then do not accept the deafults that it selects for you and it gives you the
choice of different resolutions
In SuSE (my weapon of choice) one can use various methods...this is what I know
of RH though
hope that helps you...
