You deleted the working version and left the broken one. XFree86 4.3 includes ancient FreeType bits which should never be installed. Make sure you include: #define HasFontconfig YES #define HasExpat YES #define HasFreetype2 YES in your config/cf/host.def file before building X or you'll end up with whatever broken versions are left around in XFree86 CVS. -keith
