Try running "seutp" at the root prompt.  This will give you Red Hat's text mode configuration utility.  X configuration should be one of the choices.

I don't have Xconfigurator.  I downloaded the RPM and tried to install it but I got an error message saying that it conflicted with kudzu so I chickened out.  I've run xf86config 2 or 3 times -- no joy -- it's just not the same as Xconfigurator though.
