I think you are understanding something wrong - specifically the X 
server being used by Fedora. XFree86 was replaced by X.org several 
years ago with most of the developers moving to the X.org fork. So 
not much of the documentation at WWW.xfree86.org applies to the X 
server you are running. http://www.x.org/wiki/
