Easy enough to do with 6.1. One of my installations is on a laptop;
XConfigurator in _ANY_ release of RH has no vert/horiz rates which
are acceptable & they all hang. So the proper step here is to select
the best possible fit during the install, then select the "Skip test"
option rather than trying it out. I usually use the text based expert
install, also, as I find fewest problems that way. Then, as I said,
I run XF86Setup.
