Are you sure you want to use VGA?

How does 16bpp work with a VGA anyway?

Yeah, that's all a VGA had, and since it's broken up into planes, accessing it 
all is so gross that the most popular VGA mode, 320x200x8bpp, BIOS int10h 
mode 13h, only used the first 64 kBytes of it.  History...

So, what kind of video card do you have, anyway?

This is all I see, and I don't recognize the numbers.  You'll have to tell us. 
lspci might help.

You mean Red Hat version 7.2 with Linux version 2.4.7 and XFree86 version 
4.1.0 (both Red Hat-modified).
