Hello All
Here is how I got xorg 6.8.2 to work on YellowDog 4.
First edit '/etc/yum.conf' so that it looks like this

• [main]
  cachedir=/var/cache/yum
  debuglevel=2
  logfile=/var/log/yum.log
  pkgpolicy=newest
  
  [base]
  name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Base
  baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yello ... /4.0/base/
  
  [updates]
  name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Updates
  baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yello ... .0/update/
  
  [extras]
  name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Extras
  baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yello ... .0/extras/
  
  [freshrpms]
  name=Freshrpms for Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Freshrpms
  baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/freshrpms/
  
  [os]
  name=Freshrpms for Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 OS
  baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/os/
  
  [updates]
  name=Freshrpms for Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Updates
  baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/updates/
  
  [development]
  name=Fedora Core PPC development
  baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/f ... pment/ppc/

Warning: comment out the Development part of the above listing before doing a plain 'yum update'.
you can make your Yellow dog dist unbootable.

Next type 'yum update xorg-x11 glibc glibc-common xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU'
This will find these packages and ask if it is ok to install. (this may take a while.)
Type 'Y' to install
Then edit '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' Device section like this

• Section "Device"
  Identifier "Videocard0"
  Driver "radeon"
  VendorName "Videocard vendor"
  BoardName "ATI Radeon 9000"
  Option "BusType" "PCI"
  Option "BackingStore" "true"
  Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
  Option "RenderAccel" "true"
  
  EndSection

Now restart Xwindows.
X loads faster and I get about 100-130 fps with gears screensaver @1400x1050x24
