Hi Neal,
I recently did this. I'm not sure what is the reason you're having
problems, but perhaps you could try these tips:
1. Make sure you backup your config-files, esp /etc/X11/XF86Config
2. Get the RPMs not from cooker, but from unsupported. These are
rebuilt to work with 7.2
3. rpm -e every X 3.3.6 RPM you've got.
4. rpm -Uvh the 4.0.2 RPMs
5. change the symlink /etc/X11/X to point to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
Hope any of this might help you
