I have taken my system back to 7.1, but am upgrading some of my system
from 7.2beta.  This includes XFree86-4.0.1.  

There appears to be a problem for me however.  I have a Voodoo II
card, and it suits me fine.  XFree86-4x is dependent upon 
Glide_V3-DRI.  For my voodoo II I have Glide_V2-2.5.3 installed.

When I try to install Glide_V3-DRI, it conflicts with one or
more files from Glide_V2.  I do not WANT the Glide_V3 rpm, and
am only installing it for the sake of XFree86-4.x.  

How is one supposed to build/use XFree86-4.x when they have a
voodoo II (generic...not a banshee) that gets screwed over by
the Glide driver required for XFree86-4.x installation?  I don't
even have any intention of getting a VIII card...ever.  

When I had originally installed XFree86-4.x previously, as I 
upgraded my system (unsuccessfully) to 7.2beta, I lost the
use of my voodoo II and hadn't figured out how to get around
the problems caused by XFree86-4.x and my voodoo.  Now, I am 
not going up to 7.2beta, just upgrading a few of the more
trustworthy packages, but I NEED to retain the use of my
present video hardware, including the voodoo II.

Anyone have any help or suggestions to toss me?  Should I 
install Glide_V3-DRI only long enough to build and install
XFree86-4.x and then overwrite Glide_V3 with my present 
Glide_V2 rpm?
