already mentioned in the FAQ, it says:
"
You have to pass an initial video mode if you use vesafb. Add vga=788
to your /etc/lilo.conf (for 800x600 with 16bit)
For other resolutions look in Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt in the linux
kernel sources.
"
http://directfb.org/index.php?path=Documentation%2FUser+Manuals%2FFAQ&page=0
are you using grub?
afaik in redhat 9, grub is the default bootloader
if you do, edit your grub.conf ( /boot/grub/grub.conf )

in the kernel-line , add
vga=788

hope it works.
