You can try Xvesa and framebuffer X with DSL linux live CD which uses 
kernel 2.4.  And kernel 2.6 with puppy live CD which offers Xvesa or a new 
Xorg.  Sometimes drivers will not work with older kernel, and newer ones 
have fixed the bugs/conflicts.  I have an offbrand laptop which works with 
2.6 but with kernel 2.4 doing anything graphical freezes up both mouse and 
keyboard.  What kernel and X is your Redhat using?

No idea how to do that.
