I'm not familiar with colinux, but if it really is Fedora 5, then the X that 
came with it is considerably different than the X for which the libraries you 
installed were built for.  You have installed Fedora 9 libraries, which are 
compatible with the current release from xorg.  I'm not sure where you could 
find the libraries for Fedora 5 unless colinux has a site you can get 
compatible libraries from.
