I think all 3 of those are probably fixed in the newer build:

* Wed Mar 17 2004 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 0.0.6.6-0.0.2004_03_11.5
- Added versions to some of the XFree86 compabitility virtual provides, which
  include "Provides: XFree86-devel = 4.4.0", "Provides: XFree86-font-utils = 4.4.0",
  "Provides: XFree86-libs = 4.4.0"

Yep, the openoffice build to fix that failed last night.

While you could do that, we want upgrades to work as clean as 
possible, so people should be able to do:

rpm -Uvh xorg-x11-*.rpm

... and get XFree86 obsoleted and xorg installed.



Hope this helps.  Thanks for testing!
