X. Org upgrade on fedora

Did you restart after installing x?

Besides the repository from which yum is pulling stuff, is that updated to 7.3?

Try

yum update

or just use up2date, and the rest of your system should get updated to what is current for your distro. I'd do that periodically, then you always have an up to date system.

Yes, the system has been rebooted.
I actually don't want to update the whole system - only X Org.
Is there a way to do it?

I think yum repository should have  X.Org version newer than 7.0

you can also use

yum update packagename

but then you may have to include the version to which you want to update. Use the following link to search for the package versions which you have in the repository:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/en/sn-searching-packages.html

Right. So we are back to my original question:
I yum-updated xorg-x11* and X -version still shows old version of X.Org
What other packages do I need to search for to make sure 'X -version' and /var/log/X.Org.0.log show version 7.3?

Did you use the commands in the Link I posted above? It should show you the versions Which your repository includes. If it is only 7.0 then your distro only supports that version at the moment.

You are right - the repository does not have 7.3
What are my options (I need to use X.Org 7.3)? I still can upgrade to 7.3 without using yum, can't I? Alternatively,  I can install better distro that includes 7.3 but that seems too much.
I should be able to install X.Org 7.3 on Fedora Core 4 even though yum does not support it. Correct?

Related question: is there a way to know repository of which distro has X.Org 7.3 or at least 7.2?

Fedora Core 7 has 7.2
So the question is: is it possible to have X. Org 7.3 (7.2) on Fedora Core 4?
If yes, is upgrading X.Org done manually or there is utility to help?

thanx

i need i945 support for i810 intel driver.
 

you probably need to update your kernel rather than X.
