thank you very much
it works fine
the XFree86 is gone
now it is only xorg

what is the difference between XFree86 and xorg

Pratically identical minus the non-free code.

Here's the solution just in case the URL becomes invalid.


There is a short description of my xorg install process:

[root nemesis bart]# yum --exclude=xorg* --exclude=anaconda --exclude=gdm --exclude=kdebase --exclude=kdebase-devel --exclude=chkfontpath --exclude=XFree86* update

then,

yum install xorg-x11*

followed by ,

yum update

after that you should put /usr/X11R6/lib back in /etc/ld.so.conf

run restart -xfs <- or sometning to that extend sorry but I'm not sure about this part.

reboot

and U should have xorg running.

Worked for me

[Finalzone]

after that you should put /usr/X11R6/lib back in /etc/ld.so.conf

I checked that part after doing yum update . The line "/usr/X11R6/lib" was still there so I only need to restart the xfs. the correct input is "service xfs restart".
