Hi all.
I've been tracking Mike Harris' experimental XFree86-4.2.1 builds for
awhile, and have been periodically rebuilding them for our rh73 and rh80
boxes. You're welcome to try them out too. You can fetch/install them
via apt, by adding to /etc/apt/sources.list:
rpm ftp://apt.unl.edu/apt/ 7.3 xfree86
or
rpm ftp://apt.unl.edu/apt/ 8.0 xfree86
and you're an 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade' away.
Else, you're free to download and install the items by hand:
ftp://ftp.unl.edu/apt/{7.3,8.0}/RPMS.xfree86/
ftp://ftp.unl.edu/apt/{7.3,8.0}/SRPMS.xfree86/
Modifications from Mike's pristine sources/specfiles are:
1. an updated sis driver from http://www.winischhofer.net
2. minor specfile fixes to build on/for rpm-4.0.4/rh7.3
Standard disclaimers apply: I provide these packages as-is, as they are
unofficial and unsupported packages. blah, blah, blah.
Enjoy.

p.s. And before anyone bothers to ask, no, I don't plan on
backporting/providing XFree-4.3.0 RPMS. I'll be using rh9 before I do
that... (-:
