You can do it one of three ways, either of which might fail. But, I've had
a little success with it in the past:
1. Install the XFree modules, then install Xconfigurator with
--replacefiles on the end.
2. Do it the other way around.
3. Install XFree modules, then try rebuilding the Xconfigurator source rpm.
Rarely (but sometimes) it will take into account files already installed.
If you try one of the first two and it fails, you might try it in the
reverse order. Sometimes that works.
In many instances they contain identical versions of files. In this
instance, the XFree package is likely newer. But, Xconfigurator might not
be able to work with it as packaged.
