Could be a couple of things. Did you install all the fonts that come with XFree86 4.01. Are you running "XFS" at startup, if no then you need to enable the font server build into 4.01. Make sure you have the fixed font package installed. -- Original Message

Go to init3, make sure there is not an X running, use rpm -Uvh foo.i586.mdk.rpm If the packages won't go you may have to use the --nodeps flag and possibly even it and the --force flag. It would look like this: rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps foo.i586.mdk.rpm I've used the binaries from xfree86

1.) I install LM 7.1 At this point booting into xwindows works fine. That is to say, it works as it should. 2.) Upgrade to xfree86 4.0 so I can use the newish NVIDIA drivers. Some issues with configuring the /etc/X11/XFree86-4 file, but in the end it works fine... until I reboot.

I've heard good and bad stories. Of those selections you would want Linux-ix86-glibc21. I would download the RPMS from the cooker site though. Most of them are in the contribs directory and the XServer rpm is in the cooker/Mandrake/RPMS directory. That is by far the easiest way to upgrade.
