Some other people had suggested that as well, but I
can't find the rpms on the website. Can anyone point it out for
me?

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.
Cheers,
