You mean a G200eW on a PowerEdge maybe? If so, and the RHEL paid support 
system doesn't have an answer, take a look at the thread with 
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2013-02/msg00099.html and do some Googling 
for that gfx chip. I think you'll find it's a problem chip, intended for 
minimal required capability, and you may be best off sticking to modes that 
existed when the chip was originally designed last century, meaning at least 
in part sticking to non-widescreen display modes. Certainly this forum has to 
be an inappropriate place for discussing trouble with an X server that's 
several years old.

>> Steps to reproduce :

>> 1.       Using display utility set any higher resolution and say apply

> Using what "display utility"? Using it how? Exactly what steps?

>> 2.       Xorg get restarted or below screen get blur

> Does your kernel cmdline include the string nomodeset?
