On some high-end graphics card, the X server allows applications to directly map parts of the video memory into their address space, allowing for high-speed 3D graphics. This requires kernel support, which is provided by DRM kernel modules. I would assume those are meant to be packaged in that RPM (DRM stands for direct-rendering module AFAIK). However, on S/390 you don't want that; in fact you don't want any X server in the first place. How to tell the RPM that you only want the X client libraries I don't know offhand ...
