calling all gurus . . .

I am very much a newbie and have a basic question.  Forgive me if I'm 
unclear . . . I sometimes type faster than I can think !!

I've installed RH 7.2 on my Dell laptop (inspiron 3700), and I ran 
through the GUI-based installation, accepting most of the defaults.

Problem is, my video display is less than wonderful.  Nothing I can't 
see, just some flickering and some blurry spots.  I also can't get a 
resolution higher than 1024 x 768.

When I got to the select Monitor type during the install, I just 
accepted Generic Laptop Display Panel.  Is there something else I can 
do?  Anything is possible (except a separate monitor).  I bought a 
separate hard drive just so I could crash and burn the whole thing if 
necessary.

Thanks in adv. . .
Shari
