I have an intallation of RedHat 5.1, and I am using a Imagine 128 II (#9 technologies) video card, and I cannot get XWindows to go to a resolution of greater than 800x600, which is rather small. At first I was using a different video card, so I had to install the Imagine accelerated server from the RPM later, and I cant get xf86config to use anything higher than 640X480 with a virtual screen of 800X600, without poking through XF86Config and forcing its only option to be 800X600 with no virtual desktop, If I try to do this for 1024X768, it tells me there is no Dot-[something I can't remember(I'm not at home)] for 1024X768, it tells me this for other higher resolutions... and yes I did tell xf86config which resolutions to use for each color depth
