or rather: doesn't /quite/ answer it.  The support.html has a link to
Dawes' page that explains how to make the 4.2.99 snapshot work but it's
not easy to do (witness the problems Greg Julius are having).

By searching the mailing list archive (please make the link to the two
archives clickable at http://www.xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86!
Also make the links easier to find from the main page) one finds for
example this mail from Mike Harris:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xfree86&m=104243521032464&w=2

"XFree86 4.2.0, the version of XFree86 which comes with Red Hat
Linux 8.0, does not support the Intel i845 integrated graphics
adaptor.  The XFree86 4.2.1 release does not either. Support for this
chipset has been developed and is in the XFree86
CVS repository.  It will be supported in the next release of Red
Hat Linux, and RPM packages of CVS XFree86 are available in Red
Hat rawhide for testing on non production systems."

which I think is a better help to someone who sounds like they would have
trouble compiling anything ;)
