Actually you should just be able to look in /var/log/Xfree86.log.

MSS> Operating System: Linux 2.2.17-8smp i686 [ELF]

That's the OS that X was configured/built on, I'd suspect.  It is not
your kernel version.  Under Enigma you this instead:

Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.7-0.13.1smp i686 [ELF]

which is much less confusing.

Red Hat uses that to indicate that the kernel is built for SMP
(Symmetric MultiProcessing, more than one processor in a single
machine).
