    I edited the patch XFree86-3.3.5.dif to:

    Note that what I got out of my CD-ROM was XFree86 ver. 3.3.5. I'll try
    downloading the SPM from:

    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/X/XFree86/XFree86-3.3.6-SuSE/suse63/xf86-3.3.6-18.src.rpm

    and give it a try later in the week. Is this one to try? There are no
    updates for XFree86 3.3.6 updates in the ftp site.

    I looked at ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/6.3/suse/zq1.
