XConfigurator working with ATI AGP Graphics Card

I have installed RedHat 6.0 on my PC which is dual booting with Windows.
Although the install is OK, I am having problems with the Video setup using XConfigurator.
My monitor is listed (AOC 7V Series) but have a problem with the graphics card. I have an ATI Rage 128 Xpert 16MB AGP 2X card.
Although there are a lot of ATI cards listed, none of them match my card exactly. I have tried using different ones without success. I have tried using "Unlisted card", "VGA16" and that hasn't worked either. Probing doesn't help either.
I would also like to know what resolutions I should select for 8-bit, 16-bit and 24-bit.
At the moment although Linux is installed I cannot "startx" and see anything!
Any help to complete this installation would be appreciated.
