Render is a new graphics rendering api for X, supported on XFree86 versions 4.0 and above. With KDE/Qt the major difference is the ability to have antialiased text (which is very nice); otherwise you're not missing out on very much else, for the time being. You can: 1) Upgrade XFree86 to version 4 or above, 4.2 is the current version (at least 4.1 is recommended I believe). Check the Redhat website for updates. or: 2) Ignore the error message.
