Kerry,

   1280x768 is an odd resolution.  Are you sure it isn't 1280x1024?

   If your video card and monitor are capable of handling this resolution, it should come up as an option when you install or reconfigure X.  The old Xconfigurator didn all this very well, and I do not understand why Red Hat no longer redistributes it.
