Sometimes playing around with the monitor parameters works. Try progressively
lower monitor settings and you might get something to work. Or try SUSE 6.3 --
DO NOT startx on initial install but instead let SAX work later. It does a
nice job with monitor settings. You can then use the custom settings for hsync
and vsync with Redhat and see if this works.
