There isn't such thing as "support for a monitor" really. It is the video card which is either supported or not supported. The monitor is just a dumb device more or less attached to the video card. If your video card is unsupported, then you wont get a working setup. i845 video is unsupported currently.

Oh, one more thing... If your monitor is not known to the monitor database provided with Red Hat Linux, it will still work, as long as you are using supported video hardware. If you would like it added to the database nonetheless, you can attach the Microsoft Windows .INF file for your monitor to the bug report using the link below, and then reopen the bug report and I'll add it to the database. Note however that this is just cosmetic, and makes it show up on the list of monitors. The only benefit of this is if you're using a video driver that does not support DDC (on supported hardware).
