Thanks Anders. After looking at Yast, can see that "i" means its already installed, but how do you force a reinstall?
Since you say 'i' I assume you're looking at the text based version of YaST. In the GUI version of YaST, if you right click on the icon you can select to install it. In the text based version I'm not quite sure what the procedure is, I don't use it all that much From the command line, if you have the rpm, you can do rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-libs followed by rpm -ivh <file name> where <file name> is the complete file name, complete with version number and .i586.rpm. (note that you don't need this in the rpm -e command, there you only need the base name of the rpm)
