The following two lines roll back the X11 server to an earlier version.
This fixed the seg fault problem on about half a dozen machines around
here running Fedora Core 5.
>> rpm -e --nodeps libX11-1.0.0-4
>> rpm -i
http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os /Fedora/RPMS/libX11-1.0.0-3.i386.rpm
The first line removes the X11 server.
The second line (which is really only one line) reinstalls an older
version of the server from an out-of-date archive.
Then turn off YUM service so that you don't autoupdate and break it again.
The only caveat is that our systems guy (who found the solution) warns
that attempts to compile and link new code against the X11 server will
fail because other libraries will expect the newer version number and
interpret this version as a dependency failure. This fix only works
because it is the same major version ID and so has the same entry point
labels, allowing previously dynamically linked code to use the old
library.
Hopefully the need for the fix will go away soon...
