|I think xorg-x11 will work, I checked out their website but I am not sure

Unless you know the specific RPM you need the version
for, I would suggest just checking the top of the
/var/log/Xorg.0.log file after running X.  You should
see lines like:

   X Window System Version 7.1.1
   Release Date: 12 May 2006
   X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1

This is from SL4, so newer versions should have
a newer version of this (unless some updates I
did last night pulled in new xorg RPMs).

The xorg RPM package naming can be a bit
annoying, but you could try

   rpm -qa | grep xorg | grep -v drv

to see everything but the drivers, or leave off
the final pipe and grep to see those as well.

|That was the reference on the IGUANA page. Can somebody in this news group 
|share their experience with the 3D graphic? Especially with the intell 
|845gm chip. I did look in the archives but did not find much.

Mine has all been with older Matrox boards,
and newer ATI and nVidia boards, but under
XFree86.  In all cases, we found much better
performance by downloading proprietary drivers
from the chipmakers.  We usually had to tweak
their custom parameters, and we generally found
it best to start by running the vendor supplied
config program as a starting point.

Currently we don't need 3D, and life has been
much easier. 8^)
