Try using startx -- -bpp 16 to get 16 bit color which allows 65,536
colors instead of just 256 like regular 8 bit. I use
startx -- -bpp 32 to get over 4 billion (theoretically at least).
I think you have to have a 32 bit section in your XF86Config though.

CtrlAlt+ and CtrlAlt- (using the + and - on they keypad) switch between
the resolutions. Also you can switch the order of the modes in
the XF86Config file as follows:
Change this:
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
to:
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Remember that rerunning xconfigurator or xf86config will reset the old
order. Good luck.
Also, you might try searching the redhat-list archives stored at
www.dejanews.com to find answers when you think its probably been
asked before. :-)
Have a good day!
