I'm not an expert, anyway is important what Xwindows you have.
First try to install using XConfigurator, it will ask you step by step
every thing, you should say it type of graphic card, memory on it, an
for monitor, if is not in the list let it use autoprobe program.

If doesn't work consider to use RedHat 5.1, 6.1 which can be easily
configured (I have an ATI 3D ProTutbo PC2TV whith RagePro II+ Chipset)
