Did you install any Desktop Environment ( Gnome/KDE ) during installation?
What is the output of this

ls /etc/X11

?

no such file or directory

It means you haven't installed any Desktop Environment. Install Gnome, KDE or any other DE using default Package Manager. If you are new to Linux then I would suggest you to re-install. Don't forget to select Gnome or Kde or both in Package Selection stage during installation.

i installed it. when red hat enterprise server 5 installation starts, it probe for video card and probes as "vesa" but x windows doesn't start. when i run the command lspci it shows graphic card as intel corporation mobile integrated graphic controller. i am installing on acer laptop aspire 5920 & it has 965 graphic. which graphic driver should i select to match that graphic.

[devils casper]

Select "intel" or "i810".

i have tried both, it give message while running X window, device not found

I think your video card is not supported by the red hat linux
