Newbie Alert - On.

I have seen similar problems discussed on this list before - now it is my
time to get stuck:

I installed RH6.1 clean using Sony Multiscan 100ES monitor - all went fine.
I then replaced the monitor with Smile KFC CA1515VS - and the display was
very dark and distorted. OK, monitor syncs are wrong, I thought. I then
adjusted the display with xvidtune, ending up with a good display.

Now, whenever I reboot the machine, I will first end up (the Login screen)
with a 1024 x 768 desktop displayed at 640 x 480 screen. I.e. if I move the
mouse cursor near the edge of diplay, the desktop will scroll to show more
area at that edge.

Where can one set the desktop size?

This was the "piece -of-pie" part. Now for the tricky one:

I enter my login and password, and when Enlightenment and Gnome is starting
up - the machine freezes completely!!!  Stuck.
This may also happen as early as when the large "Red Hat" circular logo is
displayed or any time after that. But I never get Gnome default windows
opened before the system dies.

The KFC monitor has following sync frequencies:
Video bandwidth: 80 MHz
Horizontal sync: 30-60 kHz
Vertical sync: 50-100 Hz

With Xconfigurator I made sure I do not overdrive the monitor.

HOW ON EARTH CAN A MONITOR CRASH THE SYSTEM??

My hardware is:

RH Linux 6.1 for Alpha
Digital Alpha XL266
96 Mb RAM
S3 Trio 64 DRAM pci (764) display adapter, 1 Mb video RAM
Smile KFC CA1515VS monitor

Yes, Using Sony monitor would clear the problem, unfortunately this is not
an option for permanent use.
