XFree86 modules need to be compiled with -fno-merge-constants because the XFree86 module loader does not yet understand the two new ELF sections that are created when the merge-constants option is used (default). To disable this optimization, and thus eliminate the 2 new ELF sections, you can look at the XFree86.spec file in the XFree86 4.1.0 source RPM to see how to configure the build to pass these options. Alternatively, you can use the XFree86 binaries that come with the beta, XFree86-4.1.0-3 from rawhide. This should get simpler once some changes are integrated into XFree86. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
