Not peeked at the specs but every monitor can be (relative) easy used up to its 
limits with XFree86. If it is not recognized, you just need the timing-specs and 
translate that to a monitor line. I donnot know RH details. I do know SuSEs 
`sax` (and `sax2`) do a fairly good job in getting it up to the limits.
