I would like to upgrade XFree86 on my RH7.1 box from the stock 4.0.3-5 to 4.1.0-25. Just to be paranoid, I built a test box with a new install, and upgraded it as necessary so I could upgrade X on it. Everything was working just fine before I started the various upgrades.
The upgrade of X went fine. However, when I fired up startx, Gnome's default font was missing. All I got was a bunch of little empty squares instead of letters. Judging by the font selector in the Gnome Control Center, a lot of fonts are broken. Do I need anything else? Is there a step I missed in upgrading Xfree86? I notice that while XFree86 and the libs, fonts, etc. are at 4.1.0 on the server, the drivers appear to be still at 3.3.6. Is this correct? This is what I have installed: XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.1.0-25 XFree86-4.1.0-25 XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.1.0-25 XFree86-devel-4.1.0-25 XFree86-libs-4.1.0-25 XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6-35 XFree86-tools-4.1.0-25 XFree86-twm-4.1.0-25 XFree86-xdm-4.1.0-25 XFree86-xfs-4.1.0-25 The kernel is 2.4.9-34. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
