My experience with 6.0pre1 is less than stellar. Performance was
terrible on a K6II-450 with 256 mb of RAM, made version 4.72 look like
an awesome speed demon. That and the bloat from AIM adds over 4mb to the
COMPRESSED file. Sad, but yet another black thumb touch from AOL.

Hi guys,
The xinitrc packages include the RunWM script that insists on looking
for WindowMaker in /usr/X11R6/bin but as of the 0.62.0 package versions
of WindowMaker it has been located in /usr/bin. No biggy, but I always
end up editing the file since I prefer not to run Gnome or KDE. Can we

The init scripts attempt to mount the shared memory filesystem early in
the boot process, which defaults to /var/shm in the kernel. This is
great, except those of us who have our system partitioned across major
file structures do not have /var
start X it seems fairly stable. It may have something to do
with this shm stuff.

I'll second that, being an ADSL user in Canada. Just config the ethernet
card as required by your service provider (DHCP, hard IP, PPPoE, etc)
and go. The ADSL modem should be invisible to your system, operating as
a router/hub for all intents and purposes.
The only gotcha is the PPPoE stuff,

Hi all,
I don't know if anyone else noticed, but there seems to be some problems
with many truetype fonts that were fine in the -9mdk version of the RPM.
Specifically, the names and information will show up in the available
font lists, but you can't view or use the fonts.
Any ideas?
John

Never mind, figured it out! Doh!
I had the fontlib package from -9mdk installed and not the new
server-common package. But it does raise a dependency question, should
not the main packages require this one also?

There needs to be a compatibility Mesa library that goes along with
this. XFree86 4.0 supplies the libGL, but does not include libGLU and
libglut which essentially hoses any Mesa applications... Give me a day
or so and I'll bang out a modified Mesa spec that does this...

Hi all,
There are a couple of miss-linked libraries in the contrib RPMS for
XFree86 4.0:
libXmu.so is linked to libXmu.so.6.0 instead of libXmu.so.6.1 (6.0
doesn't exist).
libXext.so is linked to libXext.so.6.3 instead of libXext.so.6.4 (6.3
doesn't exist).

The latest cooker initscripts have initlog linked to libpopt, but

Discovered, to date, that the following RPMs are having trouble when
rebuilt under the K6 optimizations:
ld.so-1.9.5-13mdk.src.rpm - refuses to build with significant errors in
d-link subdirectory.
ldconfig-1.9.5-16mdk.src.rpm - builds, but cores when ldconfig is run.
This could be my own config problem, anyways, when compiling the
kdebase-1.1.2-30mdk.src.rpm, the morph3d screensaver fails to build
because it is unable to find the headers to Mesa which are installed in

purposes, was to

P.S. Why isn't lesstif included?

I noticed when building XFree86 3.3.6 the spec file shows the Freetype

When the line is corrected in the spec, X will build properly, otherwise
