X moved from /usr/X11R6 to /usr, not from /usr/X11R6/lib64 to
/usr/X11R6.

On multilib architectures, all native 64bit libraries are in "lib64"
directories standardfare, with the exception of Itanium.  Likewise,
all 32bit libraries are in "lib".  This is the way it has always been.

The only thing that has changed with regard to X, is the prefix they
are installed into, but that has nothing to do with wether they are
32bit or 64bit.

Your problem lay elsewhere.
