Just FYI, I just installed RedHat 7.3 on a Dell Inspiron 7500. I found that the default install created an XF86Config file ( /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ) which had too restrictive of a vertical refresh rate. This cause the modes for 1400 x 1050 to be rejected by X. On Red Hat 7.3, To get your Dell Inspriron 7500 to work in 1400x1050 mode, modify the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file as follows: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ... VertRefresh 50-100 # <-- this is the line to change ... # was 50-70, too restrictive EndSection I put lots of key words in there for people searching the web for hints. Maybe it will help someone in the future. Using anything but native resolutions on a dot matrix display looks really bad.
