Hello Essam,
I tried 2.3.99pre4 and I was quite unhappy. I recommend you 2.3.99pre3.
I have no problem there.
For correct run 2.3.99 you need:
-- in /etc/fstab: none /var/shm shm defaults 0 0 (you also need /var/shm
directory)
-- devfsd daemon running (for backward compatibility - present in cooker
(devfsd-*.rpm) and is supported in newest initscripts)
-- ??? (I hope that's enough)
But I don't know why your XFree stopped working after upgrading to 2.3.99
Regards
Michal
