Hi all The Option "RenderAccel" "false" that Dan advised me about, solved the problem with binary nvidia font visibility with xorg-7.1.
The problem with requirement of libGL.la for building kdeadmin-3.5.2 probably came about because I uninstalled manually the binary nvidia driver re the previous font visibility problem and tried the build with the nv driver. However, I had already build kdelibs and kdebase with the nvidia driver in place, so they probably picked up the libGL.la library that that driver provides and expect it present for building the other kde packages. Anyway thanks again for the support. Problem solved. On with building the rest :) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
