Have you put in the correct Hozi and Vert refresh rates for your
monitor, or was it autodetected?

Try adding a line like (or modding the one already there)

Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

In the screen section of /etx/X11/XF86Config-4 or maybe it's just
/etx/X11/XF86Config in RH 9
