I installed red hat 5.2 and had the same problem as well.  The problem (most
likely) is that you have a virtual screen larger than your actual screen, so
you have to edit the X Windows configuration file.  It's in
/etc/X11/XF86Config file, and you need to go through and comment out all the
lines beginning with the word "Virtual" (comment out with a "#").  For more
details you can see http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/#virtual.

I also have a Voodoo Banshee video card with 16Mb, but I haven't been able
to get the system to run with more than 16 colors.  Have you?  Any help you
could give would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

John
