RedHat 5.1 is really old, I suggest you update to a newer Linux distro such as the latest Knoppix (3.7) or Kanotix (BHX). A very old release may not contian the drivers needed for a newer video card.
can anyone help getting my graphics card to work properly in redhat 5.1 it only runs in 300x200 or something like that i am new to linux also but i am slowly catching on
