Howdy,
   I had this happen to me on a different system.  Mine was a Dell Optiplex 
N.  The problem was that the Redhat 7.3 installer did not understand my 
video chip.  My solution was to use another Linux distribution because my 
video chip is built onto the motherboard, but you might be able to try 
another video card.
Good luck,
Ralph Green, Jr.
