"Red Hat Linux 9", not 9.0.

Yes it is a problem.  It indicates that you have replaced the red 
Hat supplied kernel with a custom kernel which has ancient DRM 
source code which is incompatible with XFree86 4.3.0.

Solutions:

1) Use the Red Hat kernel which contains the proper DRM modules

or

2) Download the DRM source code for XFree86 4.3.0 and compile 
   your own DRM modules, possibly messing around a lot to try to 
   get it to work.

or

3) Disable DRI


Hope this helps.
