Jim,
The file X1.hosts refers to hosts allowed to connect to DISPLAY 1. It is
not supposed to be 11. You should have man page information on Xvfb.
Typically, Redhat comes with everything and its up to the local installer
to decide which parts to install.

It sounds like your problems may be related to building it.
I can send you our Xvfb from RedHat 5.2 if you want. It launches without
and font messages here.
