I was able to solve this problem this way.
Because I have a generic monitor, it was not probed during set-up.
Apparently I selected this (unprobed monitor) as the default instead of
specifying the exact monitor...
RH8 call tell that the grahpics card is Intel 845 but I had to further
specify the drivers (i810) for this.
Thanks for the help Edward, Jeff and Todd.

Amen to that Todd! Please note I do not disagree with you.
However, it is a shame 845 is not supported properly. I have to admit I love
the boards. Stable as a rock.
But, yes, I've thrown an old TNT2 in my server to have no hassles with X.
Works fantastic.
