Isnt Redhat Linux 7.2 a really old version? You should get Redhat Fedora Core 4.

If you want to stick with 7.2 try doing what the error message says and run the X configuration program.

it's possible that the correct device drivers for your video card were not installed and/or your video card or monitor is one of those that older linux distros doesn't understand ... research your device drivers and fix as required ... good luck!
