- Ok, first of all, don't post a long text like your Xconfig.
- It's no help to find out your problem - it only makes your

- You are lucky that the binaries got up - the best then is to
- recompile the whole stuff. But this won't solve your problems.
- The 8514 X server has some problems with compressed fonts. So what you
- have to do is to cd to the fontpaths, exec uncompress and run
- makefontdir. Hope this will help.

- grep the new compiler. Linux is a developing system which changes
- likely with the velocity of light. But be careful - it is possible that
- you have to rebuild all of your binaries.
-
- Hope I could help you.
- If not send personal mails. I will do my best.
- happy X-mas - have a nice hack
