Ah right, maybe RHL just runs /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 directly. You
could try mv'ing that to something like /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86.orig
and then copy Xvesa to its place. A bit nasty though maybe :/

When I did this on a redhat system, it didn't do anything - it didn't load the Xvesa driver at all as far as I could tell. (I tried restarting X, rebooting, etc.) I'd have to spend some time going through the startup scripts used by RH for starting X to see what is going on.

I installed the new redhat beta - this has enabled me to avoid compiling or recompiling a new kernel, although I may do so in order to get read access to the ntfs partition. I put together a summary of my experience together with relevant files at http://www.dklevine.com/general/software/tc1000/index.htm. Everything is freely redistributable.
