Default Weird display problem setting up RH9

Hello, all!

I was just installing a copy of RH9 on my PC to replace WinXP, but am
having a weird issue with the display. The top third of my screen is
at the bottom of my monitor and the other two thirds are at the top!
The mouse rolls over between the two and everything else seems to work
as it should, but I can't figure this one out. Has anyone seen this
before? TIA!!!

Sounds like a monitor mis-setting, probably a sync rate incompatible
with your monitor.

What monitor and graphics card or chipset are you using, and did you use
the "redhat-config-xfree86" to set your /etc/X11/XFree86 configuration?
Or did you use something else, such as copyihg someone else's published
configuration?
