I'm running RHL 7.0 on a couple systems here and I have a question about
XFree86. According to rpm and the 7.0 CD-ROM, I have the following installed:
XFree86-libs-4.0.1-1
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.0.1-1
XFree86-twm-4.0.1-1
XFree86-4.0.1-1
XFree86-devel-4.0.1-1
XFree86-tools-4.0.1-1
XFree86-xdm-4.0.1-1
XFree86-xfs-4.0.1-1
XFree86-Mach64-3.3.6-33
I see that most of the X11 packages are 4.0.1, but the X servers (I only have
the Mach64 installed) are 3.3.6.
I'm not sure what is actually running on the machines. /usr/X11R6/bin/X is
linked to Xwrapper, which is from the XFree86-4.0.1-1 package, but I don't
know if it runs /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86-Mach64 or a version 4.x X server.
There don't seem to be any card-specific XFree86-*-4.0.1-x RPM files, so I'm
not sure what server it would run if it *were* running 4.0.1
(/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86?). It seems that /etc/X11/XF86Config is being
referenced rather than /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, though...
I've checked for HOWTOs and the like, but nothing so far has clarified this
for me... If anyone could shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it.

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
-- Thomas Jefferson, to Joseph Cabell, 1816
