well, i'm assuming rh7.3 is using v4 of xfree, so the config
file is more-than-likely [/etc/X11/]XF86Config-4  (you need
the "-4"). additionally, you have (or should) to provide
the modelines for that particular resolution.

btw - you *ARE* restarting xfree after the change, right?

Look in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. You can adjust resolutions in there.

Go into XF86COnfig-4  and delete all but one device and all but one
display.  Make sure your sytax is good other wise your x-server will
not work.
