Render is a new graphics rendering api for X, supported on XFree86 versions
4.0 and above. With KDE/Qt the major difference is the ability to have
antialiased text (which is very nice); otherwise you're not missing out on
very much else, for the time being.
You can:
1) Upgrade XFree86 to version 4 or above, 4.2 is the current version (at least
4.1 is recommended I believe). Check the Redhat website for updates.
or:
2) Ignore the error message.
Cheers,
Hamish
