That is, in a word, ugly.  I would suggest at least going through it and
weeding out the duplicate repos (I see at least 3 entries for Fedora
Updates).

yum won't see the XFree86-libs = 4.3.0-55 (the updated version needed for
the other XFree86 updates) because you have "exclude=XFree86-libs*" in the
[main] section of your yum.conf.
