You do not need to re-install RHL9 in order to fix your video.

Visit;http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-6111.html Follow
the directions on the page and in the README link.

When the Grub splash screen is displayed highlight the Linux boot choice
and press the 'e' key. Select the line that begins with 'kernel' and press
the 'e' key again. At the end of the line add a space followed by the
number three, press the 'Enter' key followed by 'b' key. Logon on as root
when prompted.

To get the Driver file type (hint: wget space next line); wget
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-6111/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run
