You didn't just update XFree86 however. You upgraded
redhat-config-xfree86 and other things, and that is what broke
your setup. Update to the latest rawhide packages, and run
redhat-config-xfree86 again. If it fails, report a bug against
that package. That has nothing to do with my XFree86 update
however as that isn't executing any code from XFree86 packaging.
Hope this helps.
