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.
