As I recall, the Inspirson 3200s were sold with two different displays: one can do a max of 800x600 (the one I have), the other can do 1024x768. So if you have the model which does 1024x768, please ignore the rest of this. Every version of RH (5.2-6.2) I've installed on the Inspiron has given me a working, but ugly XF86Config: 640x480, with low color depth. If I run Xconfigurator after the install is over, and select a non-obvious monitor type, I can get 800x600 at high color depth. The obvious monitor type to select -- LCD panel 800x600 -- doesn't work; I think I have to select something like "generic SVGA". I'm at work right now, and my laptop is at home, so I can't include my XF86Config file. If you want, I can post the file this evening.
