2) If it is a simple misconfiguration, check the specs for you monitor in the manual or from the manufacturers website and re-configure X using the xf86config command as root. That should give you a text-based wizard that will walk you through setting up the Xserver. Anaconda may simply have probed your monitor incorrectly and put in the wrong settings.

I'm not sure how to do that.
I went through the 640/480, 800/600, & 1024/768 display modes. I managed to get them all correct in 256 color mode, but that's where it ends. I set the custom memory to 1MB because it kept saying 256KB. If I switch it to thousands or millions of colors, it winds up being 640x480 thousands or millions even though the display properties say 800x600 millions, for example.
The monitor has always worked fine with windows 98, and so has the Video card. The video card should be capable of 16bit color at 1024x768
