Please help with GOOFY display???

I'm running RH8.0 as a server. All of a sudden today my display will
not work. Upon booting it eventually shows what is obviously an
incorrect display (it's garbled and scanned incorrectly) and keeps
blanking out and trying to come back. The logs state it cannot find a
driver.

I've set the /etc/X11/XF86Config entires for a board driver of "vesa",
saved it and rebooted to no avail.

Anyone have any suggestions to get this functional again? Please
advise?

ps: If I boot from the distro cdrom and run "Update a system", select
only the X stuff, it completes normally then reboots. Display still
doesn't work. BUT IT WORKED FINE WITH ANACONDA.
