Did you boot up in runlevel3 and run Xconfigurator? (it could be redhat
specific)
Their is a standard warning that reads as follows:
" For accelerated servers (including accelerated drivers in the a SVGA
server), there are many chipset and card-specific options and settings.
This program does not know about these. On some a configurations some of
these settings must be specified. Refer to the server man pages and
chipset-specific READMEs.
Before continuing with this program, make sure you know the chipset and
amount of video memory on your video card. SuperProbe can help with this."
This may point out your problem
