can't tell you what to use for the monitor but
after switching to Control-Alt-F2 (virtual console)
try
init 3 #text/multi-user runlevel
redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig
choose 59.0 - 65.0 in horizontal
60.0 in vertical
save and then startx
This should work with most flat panel displays. You can then experiment
with higher refresh rates in the same manner.
