It looks like your X server is trying to use a new library, when it
expects an old one. There are a couple possible causes:
1. You have not installed one of the compatibility libraries from
oldlibs. These libraries are there so your old binaries can continue to
function while you slowly migrate your system to libc6 stuff. Your
previous report of dependency problems on installation seems to point this
way.
2. The X server doesn't know where to find or can't use your compat
library for some reason. I don't know how possible this is really.

Nuking the partition is almost never worth it, if you have used ( ==>
probably customized) your system much. Of course you can always consider
Red Hat :) Pardon me when I say that your way of asking for help in your
last message and this one is somewhat provocative.
