Try installing the XFree 4.0.1 packages. THey *should* come with RH7 (ship
a half finished compiler but not a bug fixed major release of XFree?), but
are certainly available on Rawhide.

If you have a G400 you get accelerated 3D, yay!

Alternatively, look at the symlink /etc/X11/X and make sure it points to
the right place.
Comment out the sections for the crappy VGA server in the config file
(/etc/X11/XF86Config). I can't remember the exact syntax as 3.3.x has been
cleansed from my HD.
