This isn't really a problem of your distro; surely you are using kdm to login; am i right?
Kdm links to a librarie of the Xfree86 in compile time; and if you change the number version of the XFree; kdm no longer works; this isn't a problem of Red Hat; this happens with every distro. What you have to do is to recompile kdm afer you have installed 4.2.99 and it should work; if you use RPMs for updates; maybe yo could get the kdm part of "kdebase" package from the kde's cvs See You Greetings from spain El Viernes, 21 de Febrero de 2003 10:15, |_0rcl_A5C|| escribi�: > You've probably already received messages about this before, but just > making sure.
