I just loaded Centos 5 on my x86 32bit box and it goes fine right off the
start at 1600x1200.  That's running the analog though.  I'm running the
DVI on the 64bit box.  I've tried to set the monitor at digital for the
Samsung and same thing.  I guess I'll just use the 32 bit version for now
on my test box till I figure what's going on.
