hi,
I think you should first check that your video card is detected in rh 9 or not,,i think it might be using a VESA(generic) adapter for your card ,,so can you give me your dmesg report.for this type at the prompt $dmesg > a.text and send the a.text report.
if your adapter is not detected then you have to install xfree86 and install you then i think your problem will be solved.

But changing the resolution there does not help. It restores to its original value once i logout and login. Also I tried to edit /etc/X11/XFConfig86 (I hope i am writing the file name correctly) but the file is changed to its original state once i logout and login. I also tried on using 256 colors etc. but it did not help.
