I try hard not to upgrade core components of the distros. XFree86 is one
of them :-) Sorry. 

One way to go would be to see what version is available on FC1 (not FC2
because that uses Xorg), verify if that it is new enough, get the source
rpm and try to rebuild it on RH9 (that's what I usually do when I have
to update this kind of stuff). Let me know what you find out (and if I
can help). 

I seem to remember that for SiS chipsets there was a web site with
non-official drivers for X...
