Hello,
I recompiled XFree86 sources from my 6.3 i386 CDs. Now it works, the
compile options "-mev4 -fno-rerun-cse-after-loop" did the trick.
The installation was a little difficult, though. This is one of my first
source RPM install, so I'm not very proficient yet. It seems that the
install script tried to copy a number of files and/or symbolic links and
it clashed with existing ones, it returned with error and the
installation failed. I went to the SPECS file and added "-f" to the cp
commands, also went under /usr/X11R6 and removed all symbolic links.
This time it finished the installation. You may say that removing all
those sym links was crude, but the installation took so long to bomb and
having tried several times I was loosing patience.
The only unusual thing was that the script "startx" was zero length. I
copied the one from my PC and I started X and KDE fine.
Another observation is that after recompiling glib, gtk and qt, some
applications still have the text labels offset. Any comments on that?
