Description of problem:
When trying to start X on a Toshiba 660CDT, I get a "Fatal server error: 
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting" error in my XFree86.log. XFree4.0.3 
worked perfectly in Redhat 7.1, and the installer gui displayed fine while 
doing either a clean install of 7.2 or an upgrade. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Clean install of Redhat 7.2
2. after installation, change the symbolic link of X 
to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
3. startx and crash
	

Additional info:

Worked fine with Redhat 7.1. I even did a clean install of 7.1, following 
the above steps, and X ran correctly. Then did an upgrade to 7.2, changed 
the sym link, and no joy. 

Also tried a fresh install of 7.2 with same results

You are not using the Red Hat supplied XFree86.  Red Hat does not
support bugs in user built packages.

I rebuilt the XFree4.0 source RPM as an attempt to make X work. I get the same 
result with the supplied Redhat RPMS, which I described in my bug report. It 
fails every time with a fresh install, straight from the 7.2 cd, as well as 
when I do a fresh install of 7.1, where X does work, and then do an upgrade 
with 7.2.

If you want me to do another fresh install and send you my XFree86.log file to 
prove what I am saying I can do that also.
