Hi Jelle,
your testing comes to early yet. I am not yet done. If you only use
the official branches everything should be fine. If you use the xorg7
branch you will face problems. I am just not finished recompiling all
packages. We also had to upgrade libxml2 for some multimedia and gnome
packages.
As I wrote in the initial mail until further notice the xorg7 channel
is broken. I'll give you an heads up when I think it should work.

you're missing at least the xorg-x11-base package

from the cli i did chkfontpath .. and it was complaining it couldnt find a
path
as it appears in .. /etc/X11/fs/ there is only a config.rpmsave file but no
config .. so this is why it is complaining ..
config.rpmsave is off course an old config file that came with xorg 6.8.2
which i removed before ..
what i did to resolve this is copy the config file from /usr/lib/X11/fs/ to
/etc/X11/fs/ .. now checkfontpath
reports the fontpath according to this config file ... there is only one
problem .. the fonts are not installed .. :)
this is only logical .. as the font packages havent been packaged yet .. so
this can be tested later ..
i simply need x11-xorg-fonts-* packages ... for xorg7.1 .. later when these
have been packaged i can test more ..
so far so good looking good ... xorg7.1
I followed up on a tip from gentoo ... to remove the dir /usr/X11R6 and
replace the subdir X11R6 by a symlink to /usr
doing within /usr:
ln -s ../usr X11R6
this way if there are still old paths set it points to the new default path
for modular xorg
I would not dare trying to mix the old and the new X. I think you're
running in more problems this way. Especially font packages are still
missing. As soon as all basic library dependencies got sorted I move
up to the applications. I am still playing in the dirty mudd at the
ground of the operating system.
