First, It could be that you have some corrupted files.
Please do:
rpm --verify libnewt0.50
It should return nothing.
Second. Check that /etc/pam.d/xserver says something like:
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so
account required /lib/security/pam_permit.so
Third. In DEBIAN there was a file called /etc/Xwrapper.config
I do not know if there is an equivalent in RedHat.
Hope this can be of some use.
Sincerely,
JohnFlux
