rpm -e --test xsri
error: Failed dependencies:
        xsri is needed by (installed) firstboot-1.3.39-3.noarch
        xsri is needed by (installed) system-config-display-1.0.25-3.noarch
        xsri >= 1:2.0.2 is needed by (installed) gdm-2.6.0.7-8.i386



I'm pretty sure the requires in firstboot is no longer valid.
grep xsri `rpm -ql firstboot`   returns clean

grep xsri `rpm -ql gdm`  returns a hit on /etc/X11/gdm/Init/:0
but the section referencing xsri is commented out.

grep xsri `rpm -ql system-config-display` returns a hit on
/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py
the call is not commented out  at line 374
os.system("xsri --scale-width=100 --scale-height=100
/usr/share/system-config-display/pixmaps/lightrays.png")

Naively,  right now s-c-display is the only package of the 3 that
still attempts to use xrsi, so the firstboot and gdm package requires
can probably be dropped.
