I recently installed RH 5.2 as well and had the same problem. First I
couldn't get anything except a blank screen and a flashing poweron
light. I thought my card needed the new 3DLabs Server packaged with
XFree86-333. I downloaded a basic install of this latest XFree86 and
compiled it but it only seemed to work in part. I got X up and running
but the resolution was hopeless, like what you're stuck with at the
moment. I tried every idea I came across on the net to no avail. In the
end I just went out and bought a cheap 60 odd dollar S3 Virge DX and ran
with that. I still can't get an 800x600 res as I would wish, but at
least X is useable: I can now see everything on screen. The problem I've
got now is that I can't get Enlightenment to run despite installing and
following all of the advice I've come across.

So, my basic answer is: maybe just go out and get a compatible card, it
eases the pain.
