Sure, here you go:

[asuardi@incident ~]$ grep xorg /var/log/rpmpkgs
fonts-xorg-100dpi-6.8.2-1.noarch.rpm
fonts-xorg-75dpi-6.8.2-1.noarch.rpm
fonts-xorg-base-6.8.2-1.noarch.rpm
xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.i386.rpm

xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-font-utils-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.i386.rpm

xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.i386.rpm

It looks like I installed these packages around Sep 22,
 but I honestly can't remember whether the first of these
 occurrences happened after the installation or before.

Thanks a lot, ciao,
