The problem is this: this newly released tarballs are slated for Xorg 7.1. Read this post by the developer of the changes prompting this bug: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2006-March/013947.html The modules he's referring to are the ones biting us. The solution is that we need to stick with the packages the developers say are for Xorg-7.0 unless there is a security flaw or serious bug release made. Bumping up the major version from fixesproto-3.0.2 to fixesproto-4.0 without rebuilding the affected parts was a bad idea. We need to let the Xorg developers decide how all these versions best work together. I'm willing to be that there will be an xorg-server-1.0.3 or greater for Xorg-7.1 and it will have at least that patch in there. AFAIK, Xorg-7.0 with the versions specified by the developers has had no issues. Gentoo got bit for the exact same reason we are. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
