I'm no RedHat expert, I've only ever used Debian and LFS, but the best way to install or remove any package from a system that uses package management is with the package tools. Since RedHat has gone enterprise, 7.3 may not be officially supported by them, but I'm sure you can find mirrors that still carry 7.3 rpm's. Also, Progeny is offering RedHat package support as well. As for how to re-install, You'd need advise from a RedHat user, but basically, fetch the rpm's and use the rpm tools to re-install them. I know there is a way to force a reinstall, I just don't know the exact commands. The instructions you quote are XFree86's own installation tool, which may or may not conflict with what RedHat expects from X. I know it conflicts with Debian. You are better off sticking with rpm's than mixing different packages. Hopefully a RedHat user will jump in here with the exact commands to fix your problem.
