[olug] Vesa Driver is missing

I've installed RedHat 2.4 ES (which is RedHat 7.2 + a support contract) on a
new Dell Optiplex GX260.  Trying to get Xwindows to work on this beast is
challenging to say the least.  We can get it working with SVGA, but the
resolution is 360x200 (or whatever) and is quite large and unusable.
I've tried to manually edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config to use the "vesa"
driver, but it says that the VESA driver is not available.  Anyone know
what package the VESA driver is in?

Thanks,
