The /usr/X11 is closer to the traditional location. It just 'feels' right to me, but that really isn't a good reason. I could go with /usr and optionally /usr/X11 though. > BTW, > I really don't see this going into the book anytime soon, but 6.9.0 > should go easily.

We are told that the code is the same, but the numbering implies R6. If we update the book to 6.9.0, I lean toward leaving it as X11R6. > Now some other X7 things...All of my /usr/X11R7 builds (I've been > playing) are failing to provide DRI, even though the log shows: Direct > Rendering Enabled.

Do you mean that DRI works if it is in /usr/X11R6? If so, it sounds like a library issue.

I'm interested. Keep us posted. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
