maybe the XFree86 rpm(s) were not removed from the database either
because the uninstall failed, or your rpmdb is a little screwed up.

First rpm -qa | grep -i XFree86

This should show you if any XFree86 packages failed to uninstall or be
removed from the db.

If their are still any XFree86 rpms backup your rpmdb and do a 'rpm -e
XFree86-whatever'

then 'rpm db --rebuilddb' to be sure your DB is ok then retry yum.

If there aren't any XFree86 packages then I dunno man :

-sb
