Dear Bob , dear all
If you get informations about the confusing stuff between the two XF86Config files
please let me know I would deeply apreciate. I also got a lot of problems in the
compilations of programs which require X since I upraded to Red Hat 7. If looks
that in RH 7 XF86Config-4
takes over XF86Config but I am not completly sure of that as XConfigurator seems
to change XF86Config .
I mentioned the fact that fonts.dir is empty as opposed to previous versions of
abisuite
Best regards
Bernard
