Look for /etc/X11/XF86Config.backup

This is the backup file created when you ran redhat-config-xfree86.

I'd list the directory first to see how many XF86Config.* files there are.

Rename the current file to something like XF86Config.me (I use .joe as that's 
my first name) and then rename the backup files, one at a time, and try X 
again.  Hopefully one of them will work.

If not, and running redhat-config-xfree86 doesn't help, then it's deeper than 
I can help you with.

Best of luck
