This appears to be a RedHat problem. You might try searching for libbitmap.a and libpcidata.a on your system. They are supposed to be at /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a and /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libpcidata.a and if the server was previously working, then they were at one point. From the reports I've seen, it sounds like RedHat deletes or moves these files for some reason. I don't know of anyone ever explaining why RedHat does that. In any case, reinstalling XFree86 should solve the problem, but there may be simpler solutions that I don't know about. If you can find those files elsewhere on your disk, that might give a clue.
