in all honesty i wouldn't know - i'm not a graphics weenie.  but perhaps
some folks on ilug will know?  (i've cc'd the list)  the redhat tool for
x config is Xconfigurator...  hm, but maybe it can't deal with new driver.

also i think there are some java folks on ilug as well, so if you have
some java on linux queries, it might be a place to ask.
