This is what trying to say, but, of course, why say it with only a
few words when a whole saga can be written ....
The conflict error you see is a REAL packaging conflict between
the old version of xorg you had installed and the new version of
xorg in rawhide. Its a packaging conflict because the items in
the xorg packages have been restructured in the new rawhide
version.
instead of excluding that xorg package, try yum --obsoletes
update the new xorg packages uses the rpm concept of "obsoleting"
to handle the problem of restructuring of package payloads.

Thanks for the clue on "--obsoletes". I hadn't read any discussion
of the different "obsoleting" method for xorg-x11 packages. How did
you become aware of this?
