Hi! i had the same problem. It's easily solved by installing the nVidia driver (about 1.8MB). After the installation you have to change in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 the driver for the adapter from "nv" to "nvidia". After that you should be able to start. I'm available for further questions, since i've got the same configuration. The files you can get on: http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=linux There you should download the rpm's. For Redhat 7.0 uniprocessor (a single CPU) you need: - NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2313.i386.rpm and - NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2313.rh70up.i386.rpm Where i assume that you didn't compile a new Kernel and you just used the RedHat supplied Kernel. the files you can unpack with rpm -ivh NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2313.rh70up.i386.rpm and rpm -ivh NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2313.i386.rpm Then it should say somthing like "module loaded", you change the Config-file and you're done.
