I finally got my Dell GX260 to work with XFree86-4.2.99.2-0.20021105.0.i386 rpm files from Mike Harris at Redhat. They can be found here:
ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/extremely-unstable-development-code/XFree86/4.2.99.2-0.20021110.5/i386/
There are about 30 rpm files.
It's experiemental code, that's un-supported. It is stable on my 260, so I'm not complaining.
I'm getting 1024x768 @ 24bit on my Compaq TFT5005.
Please read:
ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/extremely-unstable-development-code/README-XFree86.txt
Oh, one more thing, I had to add Xft-2.0-1.rpm because if was complaining about the libXft.so.2 library. I'm not sure what the deal is with this. But, it worked after I installed it. It also added a cool 3d like cursor.
hope this helps

Hello...
X11 doesn't seem to want to work on our latest DELL GX260 with a
DELL Flat panel screen.
The system has a Intel i845 card in it, which the OS sees fine, and works
well with a DELL 21" tube monitor (X and text).
We've tried plugging in a DELL FP1702 (flat panel) monitor into the system
and running
redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig --noui --verbose
This created what appears to be the proper entries in XF86Config, but
X still crashes with server errors.
I've tried trying just a new install (booting off of RH 8.0 CD) and even
choosing the 'text' install, but that yields a black output screen with the 'cannot display this video mode' message on the monitor (coming from
the monitor).
Any ideas or working configs?
Thanks....
