I do not know how this happened though. I edited the XF86Config file and manually tried different refresh rates. Still it wouldn't start X. I reinstalled all X rpms. Then I made a new config file with XFree86. (I didn't know this command was there, redhat-config-xfree86 was of little use since the X screen would come for a moment and go off as soon as you moved the mouse - I think this is a bad tool, compared to say, xf86config or the old XFree86cfg or I don't remember what used to be in RH before - it was good). and put the refresh rates from the old config file and it worked.
