Redhat on Dell5150

[dmorin at lear.morinfamily.com (Duane Morin)]

By the way I figured out my problem with a little extra help from the 
nvidia forum.  My horizsync and vertrefresh were way too conservative.  I 
bumped them up based on what another user reported as his values for the 
same machine, and now I'm getting more like 1400x1000 resolution.

Thanks for all the help!  I promise to try for at least another day with 
my wireless card before bugging you. ;)
