Mostly the userland libraries. IIRC it was easy to get Xorg to look at it's own directory for modules, but something about startx (I think) was mucking with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and a lot of the X enabled programs were crashing because they were loading libraries from the Xfree distribution. So is wasn't strictly an X problem, but still ...

The only difficulty accrues from the habit that both installations (XOrg and XFree86) tend to reside in /usr/X11R6/ - which is how it will be handled by your Linux distribution. If you compile X11 yourself then you can easily define "ProjectRoot" to some different location and run both systems in parallel, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

Interesting. I didn't know one can use both XFree and Xorg at the sametime.
