Try using the 4191.ul1.i586.rpm's. The version of X in beta1 82 is 4.2.0-99 and is the last rc candidate. I got my GF2-mx400 running and Sax configed it. I think on of the problems is that sax in 81 and earlier need updating, I can't even get it to initialize any more. I will give Bens idea a shot and if it doesn't work then all I can say is I'm glad I segrated the /home/<user> and /usr/local partitions. Because I really don't have too much time to mess with this stuff. I hate to have to reinstall and format, update, reconfig. But, I really don't know what else to do. Im in the beta for email right now (not a big fan of console base mail progs). I did read the README and it says at the very bottom as a work around for this issue do a rm -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.cache-1.gz rm -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.cache-1.gz rm -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/fonts.cache-1.gz rm -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/fonts.cache-1.gz rm -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.cache-1.gz I have already done this, but I'll grep the cache file as per Ben and the issue your suggested command. I assume you all upgraded the Sax2 packs on the site as well? I did. It's late and im crashing, so hopefully tomorrow I'll kick this beast in the butt. Thx all and wish me luck! Curtis !

Are you sure you removed *all* the cache files? Once I did this it indexed all 202M of fonts I have installed without issue.
I'm thinking you missed a font cache file...give it another shot.
Do this "find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts -print | grep cache"
This should show you all of them..delete every single one of them.
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts rm */*cache* worked just fine for me.
Now if only someone could tell me how to get NVidia working again No GLX means Ill have to step back to 4.2.whatever
