What does a resolution of "rawhide" mean?
Comment 2 Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2001-09-13 20:22:56 UTC 
That means that you should look for a newer XFree86 build in 
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide or, better, in
ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/ . Be advised that a usual 
disclaimer about alpha/beta quality software applies.
