Why are you installing RHL9 it's EOL, but that's besides the point right
now. You should be able to boot into runlevel 3 and fix the problem,
follow the directions here;

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/s1-trouble-after.html

In the section; D.4.5. Problems When You Try to Log In

Change 'single' to '3' in the insturctions to boot into runlevel 3 (text
mode), logon as root. Correct the video configuration with the directions
found in the manuals; http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/ ,it's a
good idea to download them so you can have them handy for later reference
and review.

Hint 1, select a generic LCD screen that matches your laptop screen
resolution.

Hint 2, as soon as possible bring your system current, the video drivers
and most other errata (bug fixes, security and system updates and such)
have changed greatly. Please visit; http://fedoralegacy.org/
