If you build XFree86 4.3 you get 4.3 modules. Mixing modules usually works, but not always. Pcidata is one of those modules that should get upgraded with each new server. > any case, i guess what you are asking me to do is run a fresh install of > xf4.3. i was planning to do that... basically i will move /etc/X11R6 and > /etc/X11 and reinstall x. hope that will work. I think all you need to do is remove the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules directory and reinstall. Note you'll need to reinstall NVIDIA's binary drivers after upgrading XFree86, as XFree86 will blow away NVIDIA's OpenGL libraries.
