No. That's under the assumptions that you get RH installed and have
problems with your X while knoppix finds it all great.

It's also possible that the next step after "Unknown Monitor" thingy
that's causing the problem. I am not sure what it is. I have read that
RH successfully tested in one Proliant 800, but that might be a
different hardware configuration than yours. Try to get hold of it and
see if you have anything weird.
