The information you are giving is not enough to help.
You require to know the SiS model number of your video card. Actually, the
XFree86 that comes with RH 5.2 will not support many SiS cards (there are
some versions of RH after 5.2: 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2, which is the "current").
After looking at the model of your video card, take a look at
www.redhat.com/hardware for the compatibility list. Look for intel hardware,
XFree86 video cards, and look there for yours. If it is not listed there,
you probably wont be able to use XFree (no X Windows). You may still use
other graphic environments, but they are commercial (You'll have to buy
them).
In case your card is listed, you have to configure your card. Run
Xconfigurator as root for that.
