yum lists the following version of my xorg

It also says 'updates released' in every line of the second group.
When I run
'yum update'
it does not update these packages (it updated few others
though). I do not quite follow why. Anyway I could not find
any newer version.

What do you think about trying to install X11R6.9 (7.0)?

Best,
Monika
