Wow, hang on. Are you running FC2 or FC1? There should not be any
XFree86 on FC2, and FC1 does not know anything about xorg.
Check what XFree86 and xorg packages you have:
rpm -qa | grep XFree86 
rpm -qa | grep xorg

If you are running FC2, you should rpm -e all XFree86 packages. Then
reinstall all xorg packages, just to be sure.
