Well, it said it was *recommended* (not required) step, and at the time I read the instructions I of course didn't yet know that I would need help :> > I think you've got a couple of options, although I've tested neither of > them - you can try the upgrade again (making sure you run script to keep > track of the problems) and post to the list with the exact problem, or, > if you're in dire need of a running X server, try reinstalling the old > version of libXft. I "fixed" the font problem by copying fonts from the old location to the new X11BASE directory structure. Once I've done this, the X suddenly saw fonts again - and this makes me wonder, what the FontPath in xorg.conf is for, if the server apparently ignores its value. But I guess that this is not the question to the X porters. The *exact* problem, as far as I've determined it, is that the xorg-libraries package simply does not compile/install, like this: http://www.obta.uw.edu.pl/~draco/xorg-lib.txt.bz2 KMK
