Both XIE and PEX are obsolete, and XFree86 now disables them by 
default.  If you need either extension, or their libraries, you 
need to edit host.def et al. and manually re-enable them.

The only problem that we've had reported to us here at Red Hat so
far due to XFree86 disabling these two items, has been an older
version of Mozilla needing XIE.  Any mozilla from the last year 
or so, no longer requires XIE.

Hope this helps.
