Well...it may be telling me everything I need to know.....but...I don't know if it is meaningful. 1. Why, on a straight vanilla installation, I would get such an error? 2. Apparently, no one else has gotten this error (no one else chimed in saying they had it also). 3. When I can't tie down a loose end, such as this one, I wonder what else wasn't installed correctly. At affects my comfort level on installing other products on top of this image. 4. This is repeatable. I've now installed SLES9 64 bit with SP3 4 times and have received this error on each image. 5. I didn't get this type of error when I only installed with SP1 and/or SP2. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting

Your system has installed versions of the XFree86-Mesa and XFree86-Mesa-32bit packages for which both SP1 and SP2 had updates. For some reason, these updates were not applied. As soon as you either update or remove those two packages, things will be okay.
