What did the symlink /etc/X11/X point to? Red Hat 7.0 installs the old XF
3.3.6 servers for most cards. If it points to
../../usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86, then install the old 3.3.6 SVGA server from
the Red Hat 7.0 cd and symlink :
ln -sf ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /etc/X11/X

Making no changes was your mistake ;) The font server listens on a
different UNIX socket in 7.0.

A bug is filed in bugzilla regarding this. It'll probably get an errata
soon. Look at http://bugzilla.redhat.com and query open bugs in 7.0. See
if it's still there, and watch it until it changes.

I don't use kppp, but my guess is that if you `tail -f .xsession-errors`
in a terminal when you launch kppp, you may learn something useful.
