You will need a group of files from updates.redhat.com to make this work.  I
recommend reading the howto on redhat's support site about upgrading
Xfree86.  I downloaded about 8 files including:

xfree86 itself
development libs
vga server
mach_64 server (I needed this for my laptop; you will need another server
	or the svga one or whatever)
100 dpi fonts
75 dpi fonts
the regular libs
xf86setup (which did not work for some reason)

Perhaps there were more. I placed all these into a temporary directory and
did an rpm -Uvh *rpm which updated everything at one swell foop.  The
directions at redhat's support site provide pretty concise instructions on
how to accomplish this.  I did not download to a windows system though.  I
do not have one of those handy anymore except for a VMWare session I run on
occasion.
