I'm trying to build xorg-7.1 on slackware-11, and fonts xserver docs crash,
which prevents the install. Specificly jade and latex have trouble
building *.pdf files. Are there any known problems?

I'm building this on a lenovo 3000 n100. A few days ago, I built xorg-6.9
on the laptop with no problems.

eeer... zenwalk is based on slackware and has 7.1. see which versions they
have. on the other hand, since xorg-7 should be fully modular, you could
try to use devel versions of the packages that fail.

I'm using git to download, and I think it updates from time to time. I've
got a bug report in, but I was just wondering if it might be something
missing from slackware that was causing the problem.

Thanks for the tip. I got it to build by telling an initial macro not to
build the pdf files. Once it was built, and I tried to start it, I got a
message that the version that I had was beta with no support... This
downloaded from the 7.1 xorg site as the current version ;-) I'd prefer to
build from source rather than install a binary... right now I'm trying to
figure out a way to download the hundreds of *.gz files and build them in
order... I'd like to get the proper resolution on the monitor (the screen
is 1280 * 800, which is really distorted on 1024 * 768)

yada-yada-yada.

John.
