Try 1024x768 instead. That is a standard monitor resolution.

Doesn't redhat have Xconfigurator ?
I think that has a list of monitors to choose for X and it provides the correct frequencies for your monitor.

Redhat does have Xconfigurator, and it works quite well.. If your monitor isn't listed, do a custom, and the only answer you might have probs with is the h-sync, ..on both my laptop and my sony, i chose 50-90 and it worked fine, yeah and you should know your video mb. then you can pick what res you want..
