Argghh, I was misled by the type of display I had, oh well, I am writing
things up so it can go on the laptop compatibility list, here is the skinny
on setting X in case anyone gets on to setup.

Make sure you are using RH 6.x , and a SVGA server 3.x

X won't start


As root

Run setup by typing     setup  then enter 
choose X configuration  tab to  Run Tool  then press enter
on welcom press enter on  OK
Choose the Card mine is a SMILynxEM+ (generic) then enter
Choose monitor IBM 9514-B TFT Panel @ 800x600
press enter on   Don't Probe
Choose card memory size  4mb  then enter
Choose Clockchip of      IBM RGB 51x/52x   then enter
Choose the resolution you want I highlighted all 800x600 and enter

Follow through to end using your preferences

Now all should be working
