What distro of linux, you can use package manager commands.
Under RedHat or Mandrake:
foxtrot(~)$ rpm -q XFree86
XFree86-4.3.0-55
For debian, read the manpage for apt to see how to get version information.
for debian:
dpkg -l xfree86*
which returns:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
