[TriLUG] X video modes for CentOS 5 on a PowerEdge 300

[Christopher L Merrill]

I've got an old PE 300 (pentium 3) that I'm trying to get CentOS 5
running on. We had no trouble running CentOS 3 on these machines in
the past.  After install, when X starts, I get the bottom of the desktop
cutoff in the X session. Instead, in that area it shows the top inch
or so of the desktop.

I've been fortunate in the past and never had to hand-configure
X video modes. As a result, my Google-foo is weak and I haven't
even found a good starting point.

Can anyone point me to a good troubleshooting guide?

TIA!
Chris
