Simon, thanks a lot, with your instructions I just have installed Xorg
without problems.
But I got the same problem installing the ATI drives. I think it could
be related to the place where qt was installed on:
QT-3.3.3
Installed in /opt
/etc/profile: export QTDIR=/opt/qt
Configuration Options
./configure -prefix /opt/qt-3.3.3 -qt-gif -system-libpng \
-system-libmng -system-zlib -system-libjpeg -no-exceptions \
-thread -plugin-imgfmt-png &&
Besides mysql: -plugin-sql-mysql
This is the error message:
----------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/ATI/panel# make MK_QTDIR=/usr CC="gcc
-I/usr/include/qt -I/usr/X11R6/include"
Makefile:91: *** environment incomplete: MK_QTDIR=/usr. Stop.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/ATI/panel# make MK_QTDIR=/opt CC="gcc
-I/opt/include/qt -I/usr/X11R6/include"
Makefile:91: *** environment incomplete: MK_QTDIR=/opt. Stop.

Does someone know how to continue ?

It's not too hard, since they're fairly similar. Assuming you have the
disk space, I'd suggest building (but not yet installing) Xorg as per
the instructions in the BLFS book. Then drop to a console (so X isn't
running), rename /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 to something else (for
backups), then complete the install steps.
For configuration, you can probably copy across your old XF86Config
file, but it should be renamed to xorg.conf. You'll also need to edit
the keyboard section of the file and make sure the Driver line is set to
"kbd" since the driver was changed in one of the Xorg releases (not sure
if it's also changed in XFree86).
Finally, if you've needed to install 3rd party drivers (such as the
nvidia or ATI binary ones), you'll probably need to reinstall them,
since they probably put files in /usr/X11R6. The same goes for any other
files (maybe fonts?) that you've installed to that directory.
If everything works after that, you can remove the backups of the old
XFree installation. If it all falls apart, you can remove the new
versions of the directories, and restore the backups.
Simon.
