 Dear Sir

 I hope someone can answer to my following questions,thanks.

 I would like to submit our X server display driver to Xfree86.
 I should follow the 4-step program(describes in Xfree86 developer) and simply 
 submit my display driver to Bugman?

   Yes, either send through the bugzilla or sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]


 How can I know the exactly date of the development cycle of next 
 relase?finished date of the experiment phase,the date of the feature 
 freeze,the date of the code freeze and the date of the release date?

   Major releases don't come very often and the dates are not firm
but we try to get one out at least once a year.  XFree86 does release
developer snapshots every few weeks (http://www.xfree86.org/develsnaps/).



 If my display driver is already included in The Release version,does it 
 mean Redhat will combine my display driver as its in-box driver?


   In my experience RedHat takes a while to get stuff like this
into the box.  You might want to talk to RedHat explicitly about
that.  They do modify and patch their own X-server so it may be
possible to to expediate this.
