Depending on which distribution you use you can usually find RPM's from http://www.rpmfind.net, or from your distribution CD. Another way of getting RPM's would be from Mandrakes cooker, or from Redhat's Rawhide. I was having an issue recently getting my Geforce4 to work with X and I had to compile from CVS, and considering I prefer to make RPM's and install my software that way I created an RPM based on the CVS from Feb 14, 2002. You can download the source RPM from http://aleph.atecgroup.com/~chrisf/SRPMS/XFree86-4.2.99-6.30.src.rpm xedit was removed from that rpm because it was failing compilation on format.c, but everything else should be there. I don't recommend that RPM for the feint of heart, it's cobbled together with RedHat's Rawhide SPEC, a bit of duct tape, and some superglue, but it is available to use if you wish.
