I recently install Red Hat 8.0 on my DELL 8100 Inspiron. It has the SUPER+ XGA
1400 X 1050 15" display with the GeForce 32 Meg card. I found a very simple way
to get the graphics-mode display to work without any new drivers. Choose a flat
panel display of the proper resolution (1400 X 1050 in my case) and limit the
vertical refresh to 60HZ.

Credits: The flat panel display recommendation came from the Mandrake 8.1
posting for DELL 8100.
