Running 800x600 in RH 5.0

Hi !
My computer is a 486-dx4, Trident PCI 9440 1 Mb, video Samsung Sync3, and I was
using a Slack 3.2 in 80x600, 8 bpp. So, I installed the RedHat 5.0, and used the
XConfigurator, and the auto-probing tell me the only resolution I could use was
640x480 8 bpp. I already run the XF86Setup, without results.
How can I run it in 800x600 (in 16 bpp would be great, but 8 bpp is alright) ?

Depends if you are willing to edit your XF86COnfig file... do
you have this file from your slackware setup? If so, it's quite
easy... and: have you set up the specs for your monitor correctly?

No, I missed all the configuration from the slack system.
And I have all freq ranges of my monitor, and entered it
in the XF86Config but it doesn't seems to work. Nor
Ctrl+Alt+Plus works too.
Perhaps you made a mistake or something? If you post your
XF86Config file here (without all the bulky comments please),
we can take a look at it and maybe someone will spot an error
or whatever.
