Branden and crew, I am curious. I was looking around at the packages, trying to figure out what I would need to make Unreal Tournement work. While doing so, I found the following lines (using available-grep). Why I bothered writing is twofold; first, the version numbers in the Replaces: field

Anders, I have a feeling that this won't work so well. Your best bet is to save your XF86Config file from 3.x someplace, purge the packages, and then install the new 4.x series afresh. If you want to revert to 3.x, purge the 4.x series, and reinstall the 3.x series, and copy over your XF86Config

ESZ, I don't know what is causing your problem. The only thing I noticed in your XF86Config snippet is that the truetype directory has a trailing slash, but none of the rest have a trailing slash. Try removing that trailing slash, and see if anything improves. (I don't have much hope for this.
