I installed Red-hat 5.3
problem is that it is not showing graphical interface. only kernel / command prompt is available.
I tried startx, then I got this msg
No video BIOS modes for chosen depth
also showing that
ERROR: Failed to start X server.
What should I do?

It's telling you that it cannot setup your video card for the resolution you've chosen. I would try running system-config-display as root, and failing that, I would go to IRC (Freenode) and lookup #redhat, explain the problem and let them talk you through the resolution.
4The problem has been solved. Actually at the installation time it asks whether you want to install a basic server or want to include desktop and some other features. By default the BASIC SERVER option is marked and hence it doesn't include the graphical interface. I reinstalled with the Desktop option and it worked fine.
