Hi. I had 16 instead of 24. When I changed it to 24 I get:

No video BIOS modes for chosen depth! Help!

X11 is started at run level 5 on Redhat. If you don't what it started don't run at level 5. But then, other multi-user stuff wouldn't be available. You better off removing from the startup script.

look at /etc/X11/XF86Config and locate the text below. What does it say?

section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

For example RED HAT is sitting right on top of my Welcome to ...... Also tool bar is unreadable due to words too big. Any ideas. Thanks.
