Advice to swithc to xorg from XFree86-4.3.0-59

[Harry Putnam]

I'd like to finally make the switch from XFree to xorg at this late
date.  Its starting to cause too many dependancy problems with updates
or yum.  Like updating to newest mozilla, dependancy problems crop
up.

I've gotten along for quite some time with `rpm [Ui]vh --nodeps' on
some updates I thought would work like that, but need to get this
cleaned up.  The trouble is I don't want to go the clean install
route.

Its just too many tweaks and customizations involved on my main box.

I'm supposedly running fed2t1:
cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora Core release 1.90 (FC2 Test 1)

But am actually running many rawhide packages.  Its been going on so
long now that I don't even know for sure what is running from rawhide
anymore. 

So cutting to the chase... and understanding my predicament is due to
sloth (that is, of my own making)... can someone help me devise a
stategy to get rid of XFree and get started running xorg in a
manner likely to leave me with an operable OS.

If I loose X for awhile that is not a big problem as I'm comfortable
in text mode.  It does get to be a drag trying to browse quickly on
line in text but I can manage all config etc from the command line.

I really doubt it could be as easy as:
   rpm -e --nodeps 'XFree' then
   yum install xorg-x11.

I tried that last part to see what would happen, and yum tells me:

  yum install xorg-x11
  Unable to find pid
  Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
  Server: Rawhide Development
  Finding updated packages
  Downloading needed headers

  .Package XFree86-tools needs XFree86, this is not available.
  Package XFree86-twm needs XFree86, this is not available.
  Package XFree86-Xnest needs XFree86 = 4.3.0-59, this is not available.
  Package XFree86-xdm needs XFree86 = 4.3.0, this is not available.

All those packages are actually installed but that isn't the goal.

rpm -qa|grep XFree:
  XFree86-tools-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-xauth-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-base-fonts-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-xdm-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-font-utils-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-libs-data-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-twm-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-xfs-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-Xnest-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-devel-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-libs-4.3.0-59
  XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-59

So that route looks fraught with troubles.  I wonder how it would go
if I did `rpm -e --nodeps' all XFree pkgs first.  But would like to
hear some input before taking the leap.
