This seems to be a bug in some Red Hat versions where, for reasons noone has yet explained, some crucial XFree86 modules get deleted. The only known solution is to reinstall the package that contains the libpcidata.a module. Or, I suppose you could copy it from another machine that has the module. It goes in: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libpcidata.a Mark.
