VESA never worked that well for me, but there is a native VIA driver that
works pretty well included in later XFree86 packages that works quite well
with 2.6.3-2.1.238 (minor issues with Xv, 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116027 has the details
and a workaround)

You'll have to edit XF86Config manually to use it, system-config-display 
doesn't know about it yet.
