Running /usr/X11R6_ver_x/bin/X will start the ver_x server, but applications will be takem from which ever directory is first in $PATH, and libraries from whichever is first in /etc/ld.so.conf (or overridden by LD_LIBRARY_PATH). To switch completely between versions, I change /etc/ld.so.conf (don't forget to run ldconfig after changing this) and PATH in /root/.bashrc (~/.bashrc and /etc/profile might be good too). -- Dr. Andrew C.

[XFree86] A few different versions on one system?
Hi, Can I have a few XFree versions on my linux? Is it as simple as having a few different /usr/X11R6_ver_x directories? I havent concluded much from docs nor makefile... If yes, how can I choose which version to run? I dont have any xdm, I start X by startx... thanks for any hints, Dominik ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
