You shouldn't install rawhide XFree86 as-is into RHL 7.x. It is not designed to work with 7.x. If you want to use it, you should instead use the Limbo 2 beta, or wait until the final release of the next version of RHL. I presume you are using RHL 7.2 or 7.1. You need to have at least the latest RHL 7.3 kernel update plus it's dependancies installed in order to use XFree86 4.2.0. The kernel-drm is a virtual provides, and not a package that you install. -- Mike A. Harris Shipping/mailing address: OS Systems Engineer 190 Pittsburgh Ave., Sault Ste.
