Dell Latitude LM

Tom, try to select just an 800x600x256 TFT LCD and see what happens. You
may have to jump around between some of them, but one should work well
enough to get it going (it will probably display okay, but the text will
look really distorted - least, that is what my Thinkpad does). 

I don't know if RH has one, but SuSE has a tool other than Xconfigurator
or whatever it is, that is really slick and makes it pretty easy to pick
the proper display. 

Keep fooling with it. You will get it running!

was at the spot to configure X. Tried to configure X and the system
display went blank.  Re booted and got RH 7.0 Lilo boot up and I went into
Linux off of the HDD.  Got a terminal login screen.  Logged in as root and
started X and the display when south ( east, west, or north).  I could not
change to another terminal.  Press CTRL-ALT-Del and it re booted.
