Sounds to me like XFree86 is booting properly then, though you might not like the resolution it's running at. If that is the case, if you can send us a copy of the XF86Config and the XFree86.0.log file we could see if we can help you with that. The second part of your problem is the login screen. Apparently xdm or kdm or whatever manager RH uses for that (I'm a SuSE user myself) isn't started. This could be because it's not being called to begin with or because it doesn't run properly. You should be able to find this out by reading /var/log/boot.msg and/or /var/log/kdm.log (or whichever file the RH manager uses). This however is not an XFree issue, but if you want I could try to help you to get that running. If you have trouble figuring it out, just email me personally.
