Ours has an Nvidia GeForce2 MX 400 chip on it.
I didn't pay a lot of attention, since we don't own a GeForce4 MX card,
but it seems like it isn't supported by X, if my memory hasn't failed me
completely. There were a lot of messages about the Driver one can
download from the nvidia web site recently, on the Valhalla list or this
list. That's probably why the VESA driver was installed by the X
configurator for your box. I think it has to do with Red Hat does not
supply anything the Source code is not available for and is not GPL.
