>From my Xorg.0.log, "bitmap" is found in:
/usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a

And pcidata in:

/usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/libpcidata.a

I have a 64-bit machine so you may have to replace lib64 with lib.

The package which provides these 2 files is xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.7

Verify if you have this package and that it's the correct version.
