Just to clarify,  is RedHat (Linux) installed and running and just XFree isn't
wokring, or did the installation just not complete.  I've had the best luck
installing RedHat initially using the Standard VGA for X,  that way I get the
bloody OS onto the disk,  and have enough X to run control-panel, etc..  And
then I go from their configuring X.  Just my two cents.

What video card do you have?
