Display Problem On Linux Redhat 8.0

Hey guys,

can anyone please tell me how I can make linux recognize the same video adapter/monitor type that my windows box is using? i'm running linux redhat on virtual PC which enables me to have windows and linux running at the same time. (i can switch back and forth between operating systems as I please)

on my windows box I like to have all my windows fit nice and perfect on the screen so I normally have the resolution increased. however, since linux doesn't recognize my monitor type and the settings that my windows box is using, it defaulted to using I guess the most basic of all basics because now on my linux box all my windows are big. i can't fit as many windows on one screen as I normally can do with windows when the resolution is increased.

i need your help guys. thank you
