Hi Jay
It's very essential to know the card details. There are various ways to
obtain this information.
You can do following
1)When you run any type of X configuration utility like 'setup' in RHL, it
tries to detect the card. Most of the time it does it correctly whether or
not card is detected. Can you find some card as recognised there?
2)Check out documentation shipped with your system, especially configuration
section. Does it mention anything relevent?
3)I figure that linux is working on your machine. Can you detect something
related to a display card in the file /proc/pci. Do 'cat /proc/pci
>somefile;vi somefile' and read it with you leisure.
4)If you can go into the bios, check out whether you get some relevent info
there.
5)If you have windows installed sometime/now, check out the display card
properties using, right click->properties->setting->display types. That will
tell you all the info. you need.
Once you know which card you have, you can proceed for configuration. Be
ready with oyu rmonitor frequency manual...

P.S. Looking at your machine configuration, I don't think you may have a card
unsupported by RHL6.2... BOL...
