Replacing libvgahw.a with ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/libvgahw.a
should get X up and running again.

mv /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a.volatile
cp <path to downloaded file from ftp link above>libvgahw.a 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a
chmod 444 /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a
chown root:root /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a
reboot

When the computer reboots, you might need to run "system-config-display 
--reconfig" in order to get settings back to how they should be set.
