changing display settings

Hi

I installed RH AS 3.0 on a rx 2600. When i login I get the basic resolution 800x600.
I 'd like to change this to 1280x1024. Any time i change it it defaults back to 800x600.
The system configures the monitor card to
ATI Radeon 7000 Horizontal RR = 31.5 - 37.9
Vertical RR 50-70 Hz.

does anybody know how to change this.

Use the Xconfigurator command and this will give u a menu based screen for permanently setting the resolution of u r monitor

From my expirience
while using redhat-config-xfree86 it's not enough to set only the video card , but you also have to define the screen that you're using.After that you'll get the desired resolution...
