Just rebuild your Xorg from scratch, or install more current pre-built
packages.

A quick fix is to install the compat-4x libraries, which provide a
libm.so.2 in /usr/lib/compat, for just this case.  But it's better to
use updated libraries, of course.

Please ignore any advice to simply ln -s libm.so.3 libm.so.2, this may
cause all kinds of nasty problems. :)
