I've installed the following packages:

    xorg-x11-font-utils-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
    xorg-x11-libs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
    xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
    xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
    xorg-x11-twm-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
    xorg-x11-xauth-6.81-12.i386.rpm
    xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm

Are there any others that might help?  Only "libs" sounds like it is 
critical.

Thanks,
Lyle
