thanks alexander ...
i've installed and happily used accelx/laptop on this laptop under suse 5.3
with no problem, so i'm familiar with which patches need to be applied.
last night i did a clean install of suse 6.0 including xfree/mach64. then i
did the minimal install (including 4.1.1 patches and the L4102.013 patch) of
accelx/laptop.
when i try to startx i get the can't resolve symbol problem:
xinit: can't resolve symbol '_Xglobal_lock'
xinit: can't resolve symbol '_XUnlockMutex_fn'
xinit: can't resolve symbol '_XLockMutex_fn'
i'm assuming that this is a header/library conflict. it looks like
these symbols are defined in /usr/X11/include/X11/Xos_r.h
is it possible to rearrange the order of the libraries in /etc/ld.so.conf
and solve this?
