I have resently installed RH 5.2 and everything seems fine except for my
xwindows server. When I configure it It detects my PCI video card (Assuming
that this is the problem). Upon completion I start up X and my start bar is
about an inch tall and my resolution is 320 * 203 or somthing like that. Is
there a way to change the resolution on the video card? I did select
multiple resolutions for my monitor.

(presuming you don't know about this, sorry if this isnt it):
X supports multiple resolutions, but the virtual res is always the same.
You use Ctrl_Alt_+ and Ctrl_Alt_- to change physical resolution.
I think most setups give the lowest res on startup, which I personally
don't see the logic of (lower res is only useful _occasionally_).
Sorry to see your post seems to have gone so long with no answer,
I've not had useful replies to some of mine recently either.
Of course, you might have figured this thing out by now, or given up :P
