Don't you love hardware autodetection? It makes life so much easier...
A couple of things you can try: Look to see if RedHat's hardware "wizard" - I
think it's "Anaconda" - made backups of the XF86Config file - /etc/X11/
XF86Config. Look for text-based configuration tools to re-write the file - I
don't remember what RH is calling theirs now, but look for binaries that
begin with "x" and have "cfg" or "config" in the name.
It sounds like there's a pretty serious hardware conflict in your system. I
would check for a BIOS update, and run any BIOS hardware detection/
configuration routines to see if that helps at all. Check any settings there
to make sure they make sense for your hardware.
