That's what I had to do, though I used sudo yum install xorg-x11* to 
upgrade. Everything looks great except for one thing (kinda unrelated), 
what exactly do I put where in XF86Config to turn on 3D acceleration? I 
have Load dri in the Module scetion, and a DRI section setting Group 0 
and Mode 0666. I have and ATI AIW 9800 Pro, and I set ChipID 0x4e46 in 
the device section so it thinks I have a 9700 and I can use the provided 
radeon driver;  anyone know if my card is actually supported in the new 
xorg-x11?

TIA.
