Sorry, but it is extremely tiresome.

* The error message you get is not complete, before the _X11_etc.
there's much more
* Don't use REDHAT, use SLACKWARE.
* Have you created a symlink called X which points to your XF86whatever
server?
* find another file called XF86Config.??? edit it with vim or vi.
* be more clear in what exactly is the problem with your system

I cannot make much sense of what exactly it is that you want.
