+I should have noticed that myself - DUH!

+What threw me off was the error I get when I try and install the latest
+TeamViewer RPM (supposedly designed for Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva
+(32/64-Bit)):
+
+[root at foxbase Download]# urpmi teamviewer_linux.rpm 
+A requested package cannot be installed:
+teamviewer7-7.0.9310-1.i386 (due to unsatisfied libXdamage(x86-32))
+Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) 
+
+I saw the big X in the name and thought that is what it is called . .
+
+[root at foxbase Download]# locate libXdamage
+/usr/lib/libXdamage.so.1
+/usr/lib/libXdamage.so.1.1.0
+/usr/lib64/libXdamage.so
+/usr/lib64/libXdamage.so.1
+/usr/lib64/libXdamage.so.1.1.0
+
+Duh!
+
+Thanks . . .
