You need to install RPM packages starting with XFree86-... and XFree86-devel-... Not all of them, you can disregard packages with cyrillic, KOI, jpfonts and such in them, and probably some others. Your best bet would be to start with XFree86-4.2.1 and XFree86-devel-4.2.1 and satisfy dependencies as they are requested. It seems you are not very experienced with X Windows since you tried to install Blackbox without XFree. Perhaps the following page will help: http://www.northernjourney.com/opensource/newbies/newb018.html In that documents' terminology, X is X and Blackbox is the window manager.
