I was able to get 7.01 running on my box by installing the following. XFree86-4.0.1-23mdk.i586.rpm* XFree86-Mach32-3.3.6-18mdk.i586.rpm* (this one) XFree86-Mach64-3.3.6-18mdk.i586.rpm* (this one) XFree86-Mach8-3.3.6-18mdk.i586.rpm* (and this one needed by my video card) XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6-18mdk.i586.rpm* XFree86-libs-4.0.1-23mdk.i586.rpm* XFree86-server-4.0.1-23mdk.i586.rpm* XFree86-xfs-4.0.1-23mdk.i586.rpm* initscripts-5.27-30mdk.i586.rpm* lesstif-0.89.9-3mdk.i586.rpm* lesstif-clients-0.89.9-3mdk.i586.rpm* lesstif-mwm-0.89.9-3mdk.i586.rpm* Hope this helps.
