Hi Jon, I cannot help you about your probl with the i830 chipset, but I have just compiled and installed XFree86 4.2.99 from RawHide's SRPMs, so maybe I could give you some help here. * freetype is available as separate packages (also in RawHide): freetype-2.1.3-4 freetype-utils-2.1.3-4 freetype-devel-2.1.3-4 * AFAIK kernel-drm is provided by RedHat's kernel RPMs. In my case, I don't use them (I compile the kernel myself directly from tarballs), and since I have a GeForce2 card (which doesn't support DRM), I have no use for DRM at all. So, I ignore this prerequisite with --nodeps or even --force during package installation. * ttmkfdir is provided by ttmkfdir-3.0.6-1 (RawHide too) * libpthread.so.0 : this is provided by glibc. Version 2.3.2 is mentioned, so maybe it is the minimum requirement (which sounds kind of odd, since latest glibc reference I found on RawHide is 2.3.1, and the one I use here is 2.2.4 and this was not a probl during X installation). As a final suggestion, YMMV but I believe you don't need to install all 30 packages. Here I have: ~ rpm -qa | grep XFree XFree86-libs-data-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 XFree86-xfs-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 XFree86-xauth-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 XFree86-devel-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 XFree86-libs-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 XFree86-font-utils-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 XFree86-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 XFree86-tools-4.2.99.3-20021230.4 (of course, I have all mentioned dependencies installed as well). I am not sure, but you probably need updated versions of fontconfig and freetype too. Last but not least, maybe you're indeed getting RawHide wrong; it suffers from the same conceptual flaw all RPM-based distros suffer: there is no automatic way of retrieving all packages necessary for a specific installation because dependencies cannot be resolved automatically (a la Debian's apt-get). RawHide is merely a repository for bleeding-edge packages. (I am not affiliated to RH in any way, these are simply my opinions/experience).
