Hi,
I upgraded to xorg 6.8.1 last night ( fbsd 5.2.1 ). It was crashing
all over the place, and since it is a production server, I don't have
that much time to fix it, especially since its a non-essential
upgrade. So, I downgraded to xfree86-4.4, following the reverse
procedure:
1) downgraded imake to v4
2) removed all xorg packages
3) changed make.conf X_WINDOW_SYSTEM
4) built, installed Xfree86-4

Now, when I startx, it is looking for libXaw.so.8 , which is part of
xorg. If I link libXaw.so.8 to libXaw.so.7, twm/mwm both crash.
Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong? Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Philip Brennan
