Hi,
Is there a risk of screwing up Mepis (3.3.1) if I upgrade Xfree86 to 4.5? If not, is it difficult to do so?
Thanks.
Frederic
I have had problems with it

I am not sure if my experience is the same as all others, but I just recently have been trying to install XFree86 4.5.0 on my system and I have had problems. Everything installs correctly, and even boots up with graphic and whatever, however, all of my fonts do not work. Not a single one while in an X-session.
My system uses UTF-8 locales, and this may seriously affect it. I have had to reinstall my system every time I try to install version 4.5.0. I would be very interested to see if anyone can tell me how to get my system to run with the proper fonts and this new version.
I found it relatively easy to install XFree 4.4.0 however, and if you want any help with that, you can look in the forums (for there are other good posts about it) or you can reply and ask for a run through from me.
