Patrick,

Often I prefer to look in build.opensuse.org and see if its even
there.  The search in the upper right corner of that page works really
well.

In this case, it looks like there are about 17 different versions on
OBS.  (Many are likely copies of each other.)

One of which is the X11 version, but it currently is not building:
