Hi Daniel
Have you tried replacing all 18 xorg-x11 rpms ?

At run level 3 something like
s1=`rpm -qa|grep -i xorg-x11`
triple check this is correct !!!!!!!!!!!
echo $s1

Down load the FC3 versions
I used xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13 and saved them on a CD
ready for FC4 !!!!!

rpm --nodeps -e $s1

rpm --nodeps -i xorg-x11*.rpm

This worked for me on FC4T2 and FC4T3

Hope this helps 
John
