Hi,

I have just installed Redhat Linux 5.0. Not bad, but the accompanying
book needs a lot more work to be of any real use.

As you know, Redhat Linux 5.0 comes with a free copy of MetroX... Don't
worry about it, it's useless for most decent graphics cards. Try XFree86
instead as there is a much wider support.

Here comes my question...

Although XFree86 seems to support my configuration (Viewsonic 15GA
monitor with Diamond Stealth Video 2500 2M card), X Windows does not run
at all well at 1024x768... Sometimes it blanks in and out, and then
other times the screen is quite warped (especially where there is a lot
of white vs black). Why would this be?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Please cc and response to my
email address as well as the newsgroup. Thanks!
