Redhat 8.0 can only set the card to work at 16 depth and 1078x768 resolution 
and loads the vesa driver not the nv driver.

How reproducible:
Always

2.try selecting video resolutions other than 1078x768
3.
	

Actual Results:  The maximum resolution is 1078x768 16 depth. I had to load 
the nvidia driver to get the true potential of the card.

This isn't a bug, GeForce 4 is not supported by XFree86 4.2.x, and so
is not supported by Red Hat Linux 8.0.  XFree86 4.3.0 will support
this card when it comes out in late January however.
