I promised to let the list know how I solved the problem (in case it's ever of some use to someone). After a lot of trial and error, I discovered that /usr/X11R6/lib/modules was an empty directory. I checked on my other installation and found that it should contain hundreds of files. I have no idea what happened to the files, but I copied them all from the other installation and X now works. I only wish I had an idea why these files and /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 disappeared. I wonder if anything else is missing :-(. I wrote earlier that I have backups of everything, but that's not 100% true. I always assumed that it wasn't necessary to back-up nearly 4 Mega of /usr since I could always re-install any package from RPMs. But now, I'm not so sure. I did try erasing and re-installing XFree86 and even went to the extreme of updating from MDK91 to MDK92 and still ended up with missing files. Very strange.
