Most (all?) of the XFree86 4.0 unqiue man files are null (in effect missing) -- e.g., /usr/X11R6/man/man1/XFree86.1x.gz and /usr/X11/man/man5/XF86Config.5x.gz. The missing information is critical to correctly configuring the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. For example, only here is the DefaultDepth option documented. Other examples are the driver man files in /usr/X11R6/man/man4/. Gene
*** Bug 12315 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Since posting this bug, I have come to realize that this is probably NOT a RedHat problem but is basic to the current (4.0) distribution of XFree86. Looking through the directory tree built by the SRPM for XFree86-4.0, the man files are not obviously present. This may be an indication that 4.0 is not ready for prime time. Gene
It's actually a problem with the preprocessor in the compiler. This should be fixed in XFree86-4.0-0.30 and later builds.
