You are of course correct Michael, thanks.  The
XFree86-libs-4.1.99.2-0.2.3.rpm is one of MHarris' useful "bleeding-edge"  
packages that was essential to get out of a problem with my videocard.  
The XF86 components are the only part of this system that is not
"official"  RH7.2.  Does this mean then that there is no way that I can
use up2date to keep up with the rest of things?

Thanks again,
