That's what I would have thought. But how can I get to the xconfig if the screen is blank? I think I have to do something during the boot process to get there, but that's what I'm not sure of.

I am running RH 7.2. I changed monitors from a Viewsonic 17" monitor to a Viewsonic 15" monitor. The system goes through the boot process, but when the text scroll ends, the sceen goes blank. I think it gets to the login graphical screen, but I can't see anything. What should I do?

Most likely, your XF86Config file specifies a frequency configuration
for your monitor which is Ok for the 17" monitor, but out of range of
the 15" one. Get the manual of the 15" monitor, check the frequency
range and fix your XF86Config. X should discard modes which don't fall
within the frequency ranges you tell it your monitor can handle.
