I wouldn't always be sure of that. RedHat continually selects the SVGA 
server for cards that have much better servers to use, such as the Diamond 
card I have that it always selects the SVGA when it should be using the SV3 
or whatever that server is. They probably do this in the interest of 
getting X running for anyone running anything, with the side effect of not 
giving the best settings for your card.

I quit setting up X in initial installs. I just cancel it out, and then run 
XF86Config or XF86Setup, and arm myself with the info on the card, chipset, 
etc.

You might want to do some more web searching on your particular card.
