here's what I did (many thanks to Michael Danzer for his help!): >>> here's what I do with my CVS X install, to keep it from messing up my packaged install: edit hosts.def file in the CVS tree; tell it to install to /usr/local/X11R6 instead of /usr/X11R6 make & install X edit /etc/ld.so.conf, and change the path to X, to be /usr/local/X11R6/<whatever> change the symlink in /etc/X11/X to point to /usr/local/X11R6/bin/XFree86 (XFree86 is SUID root in my CVS-installed version) edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and change the library paths in there to point to /usr/local/X11R6 if you have problems, just do 'startx 2>x.log', and take a look at x.log (it'll be a bit more readable than /var/log/XFree86.0.log). see what's getting loaded from where. <<< Carl Soderstrom -- Network Engineer Real-Time Enterprises (952) 943-8700 _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
