XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6...rpm equivalent for XFree86-4.2.0? (RH8.0 install)

Hi all,

My understanding is that XFree86-SVGA is no longer part of the XFree86 
4.x product.

Could someone please advise me on how to set things up?

When I had RH7.1 (and also after updating this with the latest rpm 
available for that distribution from rpmfind.net) I had a very similar 
problem which was fixed by downloading & installing 
XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6-38.i386.rpm and consequently running "Xconfigurator 
--kickstart" as root and then rebooting.

But I'm not sure what can be done within RH8.0 with the XFree86-4.2.0 
install to get a similar result? The Display tool correctly probes my 
video card but I still get checkered backgrounds with various apps and 
windows...(e.g., Gnome menus and backgrounds are fine, KDE menus are all 
checkered, OpenOffice and various apps are unreadable!)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks
