Xorg 6.8.2 on Yellow Dog

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
