@TRUEST: I suppose there is an old version of X installed, because you are using redhat 8 and it's a fresh install, so execute "xf86config" as superuser and answer all the questions. After that the "program" writes a "XF86Config" file in "/etc/X11".
Close all opened applications and press Control+Alt+Backspace to quit X. Then type "startx" and you might see a good result. If the xf86config has no effect, it's possible that the "XF86Config" file is not considered, so try to rename it to "XF86Config-4".
Code:
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

It's possible that you need to save it to a different place but I think redhat is not as different Ubuntu Linux is Smilie...(never try Ubuntu Smilie).
Make backups of old config-files, otherwise you are not able to restore the old configs Smilie.

Bye.
