In passing, can I ask you to consider fixing your mailer to not put everything into a single incredibly long line ? And perhaps you yourself could break it into paragraphs, it would make it a lot easier to read. Thanks. Upgrading X on a running system is not very common - most LFS users will only upgrade X when we rebuild the system. 6.9.0 implies it is in /usr/X11R6, but with 7.1 you might have installed it in /usr. Most of us will think that 2.6.13.1 is an _old_ kernel, but X-7.1 means you are following the development version of BLFS. I'm glad that reverting to 6.9.0 fixed your problems, but being able to revert is not common, so perhaps you should be clear about exactly what you are doinj - what is your host system, and where did you install 6.9 and 7.1 ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
