OK so to recap, I'm using an old Nvidia driver because the latest one doesn't support the Xorg 1.11.1-1 ABI I'm using an old glibc because the latest one seg faults glx apps(ie glxgears) Nvidia 275.28 glibc-2.14.90-5 patched from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742714) and now I have updates..... kdelibs-4.7.1-2.fc16.1 kdelibs-common-4.7.1-2.fc16.1 kdelibs-devel-4.7.1-2.fc16.1 qt-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16 qt-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16 qt-config-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16 qt-devel-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16 qt-mysql-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16 qt-x11-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16 qt-x11-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16 which if I install causes kdeinit4 not to work. the latest glibc in the repos is 2.14.90-10, I asume this doesn't include the patch from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737223, which if i install causes glx apps to segfault so if I install the glibc -10 from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737223 will that let me install the latest updates of kdelibs and qt and not segfault glx apps? then all I need to do is wait for nvidia to support the ABI from the latest Xorg?? sorry to be pain Martin
