I have just fixed my problem.  I have to thank Dean Samuals of RH Asia
Pacific as he helped me tremendously.

I installd redhat 7.0 and did not configure X in the install.

I then installed the following rpm's (in this order) some use the -Fvh arg
some the -Uvh
Mesa3.3-5
Glide3-20001220-2
Glide3-devel-20001220-2
freetype-2.0.1-4
freetype-devel-2.0.1-4
freetype-utils-2.0.1-4
XFree86-4.0.2-6
XFree86-libs-4.0.2-6
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.0.2-6
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.0.2-6
XFree86-devel-4.0.2-6
XFree86-xfs-4.0.2-6

then type command.
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X

then
XFree86 -configure as root.  then copy the /root/XFree86Config.new file to
/etc/X11/X/XFree86Config-4

Now I just need to figure out how to configure this file to get a higher
resolution and colour depth?????????
