You have an incomplete or corrupted XFree86 installation.
I have heard of this many times and only on Red Hat 9. The
only conclusion I can come to is that sometimes Red Hat 9
deletes essential XFree86 modules for some unknown reason.
I don't know of anyone doing a thorough investigation to determine
the cause for sure. Reinstalling XFree86 alone should be sufficient
to get things working again.
