I had this problem over a year ago. You should get the updated version
of metro-x from the updates/metro-x directory. I think 3.1.8 is the
last version available for RH 4.2.
You will have to use the rhmask program to produce an RPM. Or you can
get metro-x 4.x from an Infomagic CD-ROM.
If you'd rather install the latest version of XFree86 then you should
get the latest XFree86 RPMS for your distribution. Also make sure you
get the XFree86-XF86Setup package and the XFree86-VGA16 package which
it needs.
Then use "rpm -qa | grep metro" to list all the metro-x
packages. Remove them. Install the XFree86 distribution and then run
XF86Setup to setup your server.
