All three files have been changed in home:gberh:branches:Base:System/aaa_base and home:gberh:branches:X11:XOrg/xorg-x11. Finally the yast installation control files and the included description need to be changed so the installer sets the right values, see attached patch. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
