Don't..... do that if you don't have to. You're trying to marry a far
updated component to an out of date OS. *At least* update to CentOS
5.5 before proceeding, to avoid out-of-date component and kernel
issues which Xorg 7.3 may rely on without even your knowledge.

I've done precisely this kind of thing several times of the last 20
years, and you can save a lot of pain by making sure your base OS is
up to date.

What is this "same hardware"? And how did you install Xorg 7.3?
