Is your video card being properly detected by Xconfigurator ? The
configuration file from RH 6.2 won't work coz of the changes in XFree86.
If you know the video card details (make, chipset, VRAM) and the monitor
horizontal and vertical refresh rates try using the 'xf86config' tool
from the text mode. It gives you a greater flexibility than
Xconfigurator. Btw which graphics card are you using ?
