It appears that neither X.so nor Xlib.so are being compiled.  I am still
digging into it to find out why.

It is possible that FB support is not turned on and I was simply
misinterpreting what I was looking at.  I basically just went into the
kernel config menus and looked at what they were set to.  It is not
a certainty, however, that the stock kernel is compiled with all of those
same settings.

Yes, I believe it is Riva 128.  At least that is what the redhat install
program detected.

You pointed me at the framebuffer howto, and should give me some things
to try.  Thanks a bunch!
