There is a short description of my  xorg install process:

[root at nemesis bart]# yum --exclude=xorg* --exclude=anaconda 
--exclude=gdm --exclude=kdebase --exclude=kdebase-devel 
--exclude=chkfontpath --exclude=XFree86* update

then,

yum install  xorg-x11*

followed by ,

yum  update

after that you should  put  /usr/X11R6/lib  back in  /etc/ld.so.conf

run  restart -xfs   <-  or sometning to that extend  sorry but I'm not 
sure about this part.

reboot

and U should have xorg running.

Worked for me .
