The answer is simple.. your card is not supported , try to install RH9 or above ie Fedora and I am sure your problem will be solved.

If the video card was not out yet when Redhat 8 was released, they could not put in a driver.  If I tried to install Redhat 8 on my machine, it would not have drivers for much of anything on my system.  I just built it last year and Redhat could not put in drivers for something that didn't exist.  

You need a newer version of Redhat or a older computer one.  I would also imagine there are a lot of security and bug issues fixed since then too.  That would be another good reason to get a bit newer.

Hope that helps and you have broadband for the download.
