There's the xorg wiki (you'll find it VERY easily with Goooogle). Also, I'd bet you can find all the info you need here on LQ.
Start by checking the log file /var/log/xorg.0.log for indications of what the problem is.
What did you do to cause it to not start? Change something, or install a new driver?
What's the video hardware? And which driver/from where did you get it?
Search LQ for stuff like 'xorg.conf' or for specifics from your log file.
Or, if there's a specific question, feel free to ask right here, or in the RedHat forum.
Someone's computer was working fine with Red Hat untill a motherborad went bad.
The mother board, memory, and power supply was replaced by a contractor.
The contractor says the no other parts were replaced. Says video card was taken from old board and placed on new one.
Boot up Linux and x server fails to start.
Am able to load a generic one but I need the old drive because it a duel port monitor thing.
Perhaps the PCI/AGP slot ID number is different on the new system than it was on the old system..
If you're using dual monitors, chances are the BusID's are identified in the xorg.conf file.
run the command 'lspci' and post the results here, as well as your xorg.xonf file.
EDIT: Did you check the logs, for details of the crashes?

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "unix/:7100"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"

Is it possible the problem is the card doesn't have power cables attached?
From log file...

Tell you the truth, I have NEVER heard of any video cards that have external power connectors LOL. Not to say they don't exist, but that's a new one for me.
Seems odd, but I guess it would be a good idea to open up the machine and have a look inside..
That's the only error I see in the error log.
Now, if you are indeed trying to use an nvidia card and driver, then you need to change the DRIVER in the xorg.conf file from VESA to NVIDIA (lowercase, not CAPS)
Give us an update when you check that 'power' (??) cable and try the driver.
