If any of you want to take a look, the spec file and srpm are still on 
the net :

http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/FC4/SPECS/xorg-x11.spec
http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/FC4/SRPMS/xorg-x11-6.9-0.FC4.ucr.14.src.rpm


This is the latest I have for monolithic X. Take care this is xorg 6.9 
while you want 6.8.2, go back to FC3 for 6.8.2.
