Can you give a more detailed description of the problem?

It might also be worth your while to get a copy of RHL 6.0, which supports a wider variety of vid cards, and has the X setup built into it's install procedure. I have an address to an FTP with the ISO if you want it.

What video card do you have?

There is no need to reinstall each time:

Try this, log in as root, at the command prompt type in the following:

cd /usr/X11R6/bin press enter

now type xf86config press enter

follow on screen instructions carefully
