hi, I just had the following fun experience trying to get the latest XFree packages working on my TiBook (an older one with Rage 128 Mobility). This was originally an 8.0 install, which is now almost in sync with cooker. first, went to runlevel 1 and REMOVED all the XF-4.1.x packages (rpm -e --nodeps ...) next installed all the 4.2's minus some of the unnecessary fonts. it wouldn't work (tried telinit 5, startx, Xtart), here are the errors... Symbol xf86int10Addr from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol xf86InitInt10 from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol xf86FreeInt10 from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol xf86FreeInt10 from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol drmFreeBufs from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol drmR128TextureBlit from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol drmFreeBufs from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved! (I have the whole XFree86.0.log file if anybody thinks that info can help) I guessed about several other packages needing to be updated, but this didn't help either (glibc for one). I'm curious about how the kernel-headers package # doesn't match the latest kernel available. Does this matter at all? Also, I corrected for the typo in /etc/X11 with hsync/vsync ... and tried using a backup of my XF86Config-4 that works under 4.1.x ... to no avail. Finally, I downgraded back to 4.1 and everything is mostly fine again. Anyway, thought I'd share the experience and see if anyone has a tip to get it working. -i
