After a reboot ada2 would not go into graphical mode.  I think this was the first reboot after i had run a number of updates on this machine.

For future reference:
Viewsonic P810
Horiz - 30-95 kHz
Vert - 50-160 Hz


Running redhat-configure-xfree86 didn't help.  I finally did an upgrade and even this didn't seem to help!  I next tried replacing all the XFree86 modules, no luck.  Tried  re-installing kudzu, no luck.  I finally re-installed the system  (without formatting any partitions).  It still wouldn't boot into graphical mode, but it gave a lot of errors about glibc not being the right version.  Also, it said X was spawning too quickly.  I re-installed the latest glibc rpm and then X immediately started.

After doing the graphical login as root (map had the same problem), it complained that there was no default environment of some sort and put the main panel at the top instead of at the bottom where it had been.
