That is, in a word, ugly. I would suggest at least going through it and
weeding out the duplicate repos (I see at least 3 entries for Fedora
Updates).

yum won't see the XFree86-libs = 4.3.0-55 (the updated version needed for
the other XFree86 updates) because you have "exclude=XFree86-libs*" in the
[main] section of your yum.conf.
Thanks, I will make the changes and try it.
NOTE However, that this yum.conf file is exacly the version that was
posted on this list earlier. I suppose I did not note the problem with
XFree86 earlier since this is likely the first time XFrre86 was updated
since the initial core release on this distro.
Maybe someone could post a better yum.conf file copy for an example.
