You are quite welcome.

I'll do you one better and provide a script that downloads, builds and 
installs the TinyX package. It's a modified version of the instructions 
available here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/Xserver

I had to make modifications to make some parts build, others to strip 
the binaries, install the servers SUID as required.....

The script is here:
www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rule/XFree86/kdrive/FC3/build.sh

I used the script to rebuild the package, and just uploaded that new 
version of the tarball along with the script. (it shouldn't be any 
different than the previous tarball, but will obviously have a 
different md5sum) Actually, there is one change, the kdrive servers are 
now installed SUID.

It's simple enough to use, create a build directory and put the script 
in that directory, cd to the build directory, and say "./build.sh". It 
will take an hour or two to build on a reasonably fast machine....

I'll be putting this into an rpm package as soon as I possibly can.

I never went anywhere, I have been reading along as time permits, 
honest.  Call it a major case of burn out... <grin>
I'll continue to do what I can, when I can.
