You're the king, Alexander. Now, do you have any idea if all man pages for the Xorg tarballs are packed into a man/ subdirectory? They're usually follow a pretty standard setup, but not always. I'll check that the know offending ones are (xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-fbdev and xf86-input-ati). I think those are all the affected packages. I don't normally build all of Xorg, but I did it a while back, and I got the same matches there on my saved tree. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
