Can I install X11R6.9 on Redhat 4 update 6?


Trying to get Multi-Seat working.
After reading through some posts, looks like the X command needs -sharevts and -novtswitch options which looks like are not in
the X11R6.8.2 version. Can I install X11R6.9 or X11R7.0 on Redhat 4 update 6?

If you fetch the X11R6.9 packages then running 'rpm' with the "--test" switch should show dependency and incompatibility problems.

Found Source but no RPM's for X11R6.9

Could not find any X11R6.9 RPM's for Redhat. Found .tar.gz tarball and installed using make and make install
