I'm sorry. In my mind it was a yum upgraded FC5. In attempting to install xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.fc5.1.1 i discovered that my rpm futex problem was solved with the reboot, but that yum (yum-2.6.1-0.fc5) still crashed after 2 attempts to get a lock on an nfs filesystem. Don't know why this stopped working, but I moved the directory tree local and it worked fine again. I removed all xorg* rpm's from the system, and for good measure all other rpm's from development repos (strangely few). After disabling the development repos in yum I reinstalled the removed rpm's and for good measure did a yum upgrade. The result is a perfectly working ivtv xdriver. (ivtv_xdriver-0.10.6-5.rhfc5.at) Thanks for your help, Axel, and again sorry for the loops. Can my system now safely be described as FC5 ? - I must admit to currently compiling a few sources locally whilst trying to solve a recent dvd-menu generation problem. stv -- Steve Peterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thot System Consultants Ltd. _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
