Procedure
This will of cource depend on your what you are trying to achieve ;-)
- If you have a functioning SuSE Linux system and wan to make the
Update 'just for fun':
You will need the package
xf86.rpm
as well as the new
X Server for your graphic card, ie. xsvga.rpm
.
- If you have a functioning SuSE Linux system and doing the update
because of its support for a new graphic card:
You will need the package xf86.rpm
as well as the new
X Server for your graphic card, ie. xsvga.rpm
.
In addition you will also need the package xfsetup.rpm
and sax.rpm
, from teh series x1
.
- If you have a functioning SuSE Linux system and are an experienced
user who is interested in recompiling your own X Server: All
packages are necessary except for those X Servers which will not
be used by your graphic card. The japanese documentation located in
xdoc.rpm
will also not be necessary.
ATTENTION! There is a difference between libc5 and glibc2 packages!
SuSE Linux versions up to and including 5.3 were based on the libc5
libraries. If you are using such a system and would like to upgrade the
X Server, you can find the necessary packages in the following directory
of our FTP server:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/XFree86-3.3.3.1-SuSE/libc5.
Since the release of SuSE Linux 6.0, the system has been based on
glibc2 libraries. For these systems, the X Server can be found in the
following directory:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/XFree86-3.3.3.1-SuSE/glibc2.
SaX can be found in the following directory of our
FTP-Server:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/suse60/x1/sax.rpm
Please be aware that this package (because of the change in the
C Libraries can only work with versions of SuSE Linux after
(and including) 6.0!
Further information, e.g. about which X Server is needed for your
graphics card, can be found on our web server:
