Long ago it was X11R5, before that X11R4. And switching the default dir to /usr/X11R7/ won't hurt neither less or more (backwards-compatibility can be guranteed via softlink from /usr/X11R6 --> /usr/X11R7/ ...) ... :) BTW: Since a while Solaris has a link /usr/X/ which points to the currently installed version of X11... maybe the same should be done for the Xorg tree and then all version-independent paths should go through /usr/X/ (or /usr/X11/) instead of /usr/X11R(6|7)/ ... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [email protected] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
