The proper way to do it, is to upgrade to /all/ of the current
rawhide bits. openoffice might not be there yet. Then do:
rpm -Uvh xorg-x11-*.rpm
Also, where did you get aalib and xine-libs from? I'd like to
download the src.rpm packages for those and see why they are
broken. I assume it is just a bogus dependancy, or incorrect
dependancy on the part of the packager.

Yeppers. ;o) Your testing is greatly appreciated!
