Red Hat 8.0 (fully updated) on HPOBXE2 w/Lynx Silicon Motion EM graphics card.

I have been trying to setup a screen resolution of 1024*768 (higher than 800*600, that is acceptable by the embedded LCD screen), using an external Nokia 447Zi monitor. After a great deal of experimentation, I was able to do it, by changing the X screen driver to "VESA".

However, it doesn't feel right: whenever I start VMWARE (4.0), I get the message that video acceleration is not available by the screen driver (therefore, full-screen operation is sluggish) and, when I shut-down or re-boot (from the KDE login screen), the screen goes blank and I cannot watch the on-screen messages.

Any advice on how to properly setup the screen resolution to higher than 'poor' 800*600 is welcomed.

Regards,
