As far as I can tell, this seems to be a RedHat bug. It
appears that something on the system deletes crucial XFree86
modules for some unknown reason. I assume your
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libpcidata.a
and
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a
have gone missing? I don't think I've ever seen an explanation
for why that happens. You obviously had them the last time
the server was running. The only fix at I know of at this point
is to reinstall the X-server to get the modules reinstalled,
unless you can find where on the system they have gone to, or
you can copy them over from another system.
