Do you have libXfixes installed?
(In reply to comment #0) <zap> >libXrender, livXfixes, xorg-x11+xorg-server, and fixesproto were all installed. And with livXfixes, I meant libXfixes. (And 'were' above _is_ used in past sense, as having libXfixes installed with an X.org 6.8 install on top (possible it is) just isn't feasible whenever I feel like giving modular X another (fourth) go.)
Alright, well it's incredibly difficult to debug a situation when you can't get any more info about it. I'll have to close this until someone can reproduce it.
What info do you want/need? I could try again and confirm that I can reproduce only to go back to 6.8 without any useable information if I do not know what I need to be looking for.
pkgconfig version, whether /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xfixes.pc exists, whether you have manually set $PKG_CONFIG_PATH, the contents of /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xfixes.pc, etc.
