I have exactly the same setup as you.
Download the latest copy of XSVGA.tgz (or SVGA server) from the
XFree86 site.
untar it (tar -zxvf XSGVA.tgz) in /usr/X11R6,
edit your XF86Config file,
edit the section for "My Video Card"
Make sure there is no clockchip setting,
Videoram setting is correct and not commented out
Should work ok

On my machine (also RH5.2), this returns:
XFree86-libs-3.3.3.1-1.1
XFree86-3DLabs-3.3.3.1-1.1
XFree86-VGA16-3.3.3.1-1.1
XFree86-3.3.3.1-1.1
XFree86-SVGA-3.3.3.1-1.1
XFree86-XF86Setup-3.3.3.1-1.1
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-3.3.3.1-1.1
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-3.3.3.1-1.1
XFree86-devel-3.3.3.1-1.1

On your box, obviously, the version numbers are most likely 3.3.2.3.

2) ftp updates.redhat.com (or one of the mirrors listed at
http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html), and download the 3.3.3.1 packages.

3) From the directory to which you downloaded the files,
rpm -Uvh --force XFree*
This must be done as root.

4) Also as root, run XF86Setup, pick the SVGA server, and specify the amount
of RAM the board has (see http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.3.1/MGA.html for more
info).

5) startx, and all should be well.

Luck.
