What exactly is the problem with the i830?
What is the bug number in bugzilla.redhat.com?

visited <http://redhat.ifsic.univ-rennes1.fr/rawhide/RedHat/RPMS/> (or
another rawhide mirror) and downloaded all the files that began with
'XFree-' (which meant 30 files) and tried the following on my RedHat
8.0 stationary computer (just to check):

I'm using the 12-30 build from Mike. I downloaded it on Jan 2.

I just check and he has a new build up, 01-15. I try that instead of the 12-30 build.
<ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/extremely-unstable-development-code/XFree86/4.2.99.3-20030115.0>
I getting it now :)

rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
kernel-drm = 4.2.99.2 is needed by XFree86-4.2.99.3-20021230.4
freetype >= 2.1.3-4 is needed by XFree86-libs-4.2.99.3-20021230.4

Try rebuilding the XFree86 SRPM on your machine with your libs.
Same for ttmkfdir, freetype, and redhat-config-xfree86.

You can ignore the redhat-config-xfree86 package , since you will probably edit XF86Config by hand,

What _other_ files should I include?  Or do I completely misunderstand

You can either try building a newer kernel from the SRPM, or ignore the drm dependency to install.
Then build the kernel modules from the XFree86 source.

When dealing with rawhide it's often easier to build from the SRPM than use the RPMs there.
