I noticed that 4.3.0 didn't like the old SaX2-generated XF86Config. It would cause X to wedge when it started up. Didn't even think of checking if it did the same when it regenerated the font cache. My solution was to run xf86config4 and cut-n-paste the "FontPath" elements from the old XF86Config. Also, you'll want to go back and manually add various modules (extmod, v4l, glx, etc) and remove the part about disabling "extmod". About 10 minutes worth of work. But after that, SuSEconfig regenerated the font caches correctly and X has been working flawlessly for the past few hours. Hope this helps. --Jerry Open-Source software isn't a matter of life or death... ...It's much more important than that!
