i assume you trying to install rh6 using the rh6 boot diskette and cd?
 if you are then perhaps theres a problem with the boot up disk.cos you only
really set up you video config near the end of the installation and this is
where you find out if rh6 supports you card or not as for the monitor it
should be very easy to config (i config my no-name brand monitor easily).
your safest bet is to ask the redhat crew http://www.redhat.com
