You should go to redhat for reference manuals and such.  Because that 
should actually be

	redhat-config-xfree86   (RHEL3, Fedora 1)

	system-config-display   (RHEL4, Fedora 2, 3, 4..)

There are ALOT of changes between RHEL3 and RHEL4, and that is one of 
them.  But Scientific Linux is RHEL based.  So you should look for 
manuals and references based on RHEL not Fedora/  Kust remember that 
there are changes between RHEL 3 (Scientific Linux 3.0.x) and RHEL 4 
(Scientific Linux 4.x)
