Well, if you know man, what else do you need ;-)
 
But seriously, what is it that doesn't work? Did you get to specify your video card during the
installation procedure? Try the startx command. If that does the trick, then your only
problem is probably that you have to change the default runlevel in the file /etc/inittab.
If not, then see if you get any error messages, and post them here.
 
Support for this chipset should be in recent versions of X, so I suspect that would not be the
problem.

Someone can explain how to instal a driver in text mode, with detail enough to one that don´t know text commands?

The problems is that Red Hat 9 has Sis 630 driver on CD, but doesn´t have Sis 730S.
