Rebuilding everything and its dependencies after the latest mega update patch to X (thanks for the great work!) I got a seemingly innocuous error trying to start X: NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize default colormap Various -bpp -depth and other flags had no effect and the same problem occured using vesa drivers. Rebuilding the X server with NEW_XORG flag (and the dependencies that were automatically rebuilt) gave me xorg-server-1.12 which started and works (i.e. the colormap error disappeared - of course a rebuild of everything X and its dependencies was needed to get mouse and keyboard drivers working, etc) It seems that something the NEW_XORG flag enables might also be required in order to fix the colormap error for 1.7.7 server. Any tips for tracking down what that might be? Perhaps a BUILD_DEPENDS issue or a PEBKAC error triggered by the order in which I installed and upgraded the libraries? I did find a few similar sounding error reports about "Failed initialize default colormap" but it was unclear how or whether the problems were resolved. I should note that I don't mind running the latest/greatest X, but I'm assuming the xorg-server-1.7.7 should continue to work with the recent updates to X libraries. As a "fix" for the above error upgrading to NEW_XORG might not be practical for everyone. cheers, Graham Todd
