Hi

I was going to email you, but then I noticed that your hostname and
domain are incorrectly set. You may want to chase this up!

Which Xserver did you install? You should have installed the 'generic
SVGA' server (XFree86-SVGA-3.1.2-4.i386.rpm). I think you may have
installed the generic VGA one by mistake.

Try installing the SVGA server and then rerun Xconfigurator. Depending
on your car/monitor, you can enable more than one video mode and switch
between them using CTL-ALT-BACKSPACE

Have fun,
