If you find a package depending on XFree86-devel, or on
xorg-x11-devel, please file a bug report against that package
in the relevent bugzilla, or if i is an upstream package from
some software project, please report the bug to them.

XFree86-devel and xorg-x11-devel no longer exist in Fedora Core.
Software that links to X libraries, must now have a separate
BuildRequires added for each individual X library that the package
uses, in the form:

BuildRequires: libSM-devel
BuildRequires: libX11-devel
...

Each library is in it's own package, which has the same name as the
library itself (except for libXss, which is package "libXScrnSaver"
as upstream decided to name one library tarball different just to
make things confusing).

So, you need to BuildRequires: lib<name>-devel for each library
you need.

Hope this helps.
