Ok I also replied to your post in games forum, but you must be more descriptive.. these questions you ask will almost never recieve responses, because they are hardly questions. Now..

Hit CTRL-ALT-(Minus Sign) to change resolution,
Along with CTRL-ALT-(Plus Sign)

If those do not change your resolution, you can use a command line utility (to be ran as root) to reconfigure your X windows.
/usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config should work decent. To run it, either type:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config
or type
cd /usr/X11R6/bin
./xf86config

Be careful when picking monitor modes, as setting it to high could self-destruct it (theoretically I guess.. ) .. Your mouse, if its PS/2, is located at /dev/psaux, and if redhat does it for you (I dont use it, no idea), you may be able to use /dev/mouse also if its a non-ps2 mouse your if your just to confused by /dev/psaux..

FYI.

Only the plus and minus signs on the number pad (far right of keyboard) work for me in this combonation. So if the standard ones don't work try the ones on the number pad (and make sure Num Lock is on).

Are you sure the directory /usr/X11R6/bin doesn't exist? It would seem very odd if it didn't...

Don't know if you know this sad_b0i, but everything is case sensitive. I didn't know that in the beginning...and boy did that cause me some grief when getting help until someone "enlightened" me.

x11r6 is NOT the same as X11R6

You know, when I firsted installed Debian I don't think that it existed and I don't remember what I did to get it there...

What about the file /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup? Do you have that? I believe that is what I ran to get X configured. You have to run it as root and you can't be in X -- so you have to run it from the command line. You can change your resolution settings with that though you will have to know some info about your monitor (Vertical and Horizontal Frequency) so you'll want to have your monitor manual handy.
