I have the problem on several different systems (P3 and P4), different
videocards (Intel 810, ASUS/NVIDIA and ATI) and different monitors
(Daewoo, Iiyama and Compaq) starting with RHEL5.0 up to RHEL5.2
(including SL5.0 -> SL5.2Beta and CentOS 5.0 -> 5.1) after doing a
clean installation. Firstboot works fine without a problem. Rebooting
and everything goes wrong. The cure is every time the same: change the
content of xorg.conf (manually or by using system-config-display). You
might want to read the extensive bugreport filed with CentOS about
this problem: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1719.

Hope this helps.
