Thanks Dave for your patience and tip on where I might go to fix this
problem.

What I did (with your help)  was to finally go to
'ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/fc2/xorg-x11/6.7.0-3/i386'  and
download all his xorg stuff.  All of them, as some new dependancies were
needed etc.,  and than I did a 'rpm -Uvh' *  in the directory where all
those files were downloaded and Bingo!.  It fixed my problem.  I see
from reading the bigfix stuff though, that things are really not fixed
on this issue.  They sort-a are fixed/finished but there are still
problems.  And of course if it really was fixed it should have been
fixed in the new RC2 release. Not so..

Anyway - thanks again Dave for your assistance.
