I too had the same prob when I installed Debian/GNU Linux and again with
Corel Linux OS.  It was that the version of XFree86 didn't like the
graphics card I had (Rage128 chipset).  The solution - downoaded the
newer version of Corel Linux that had XFree86 3.3.6 (or something like
that - a newer version anyhow).  It solved it all and it works great.  I
suggest searching the web for Linux/<your-graphics-card>, or just
upgrade to a newer version of RedHat or XFree86.
