Hi guys,
I've noticed that during updating with yum for a while,I've noticed that there haven't been any updates for xorg-x11-server for a while.

I have also been having trouble with KDM.That problem is that when I first boot up,I get KMS.
When I get to KDM,I log in with my username and password,but instead of getting me to the desktop,it throws me back to KDM.I then have to select console mode.Then I have to log in via TTY-2,and then issue the command startx,and then I get to the KDE desktop that way.

I first tried to re-install KDM via yum from TTY-2,but that didn't help,so today I tried to re-install the the xorg packages using yum,but it keeps giving me this error:
yum reinstall xorg*
Loaded plugins: filter-data, list-data, presto, refresh-packagekit, upgrade-helper
Setting up Reinstall Process
No Match for argument: xorg.conf.new
Examining xorg-x11-server-1.6.99-42.20090825.fc12.src.rpm: xorg-x11-server-1.6.99-42.20090825.fc12.src
Cannot add package xorg-x11-server-1.6.99-42.20090825.fc12.src.rpm to transaction. Not a compatible architecture: src
Nothing to do

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,
I managed to solve one half of my problem.I located where xorg-x11-server-1.6.99-42.20090825.fc12.src.rpm and xorg.conf.new were liveng,(they were in my root folder).I found I hadn't installed xorg-x11-server-1.6.99-42.20090825.fc12.src.rpm,so I deleted both of them to trash.

I ran yum reinstall xorg* again and this time it worked.

Yep, You run a shell thing: when You type something* without ", or `, or \, it will interpret the shell, not yum. Next time, just use some "protection" chars :)
