I have just spent the last 2 days trying to upgrade my X from the default CS
version to the newest 4.0.2-2, on my green iMac, that i downloaded in both
source, SRPMs and ppc-RPMs. I have tried them all, compiling source,
rebuilding source, RPMs recompiling source RPMs and installing and upgrading
ppc-RPMs (with and without the --force command). But i still get the answer
no screen found when i run startx.
Now ive used both Xconfigurator, Xautoconfig-4 but still no result. X don't
start.
Heres a list of the RPMs that ive downloaded:
ppc-rpms:
Xautoconfig-0.13-2.ppc.rpm
XFree86-4.0.2-2a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-doc-4.0.2-2a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-drivers-4.0.2-2a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-libs-4.0.2-2a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-tools-4.0.2-2a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-twm-4.0.2-2a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-xdm-4.0.2-2a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-xf86cfg-4.0.2-2a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-xfs-4.0.2-2a.ppc.rpm
SRPMS:
XFree86-4.0.2-2a.src.rpm
Source:
X402src-1.tgz
X402src-2.tgz
X402src-3.tgz

I have added this list to make it easyer for you to se if im missing any
files.
When i use the ppc-rpms i get the message that these files are missing:
initscripts >= 5.20
pam-devel
xinitrc >= 2.9.8
system-auth
xpm
XFree86-xfs
Xconfigurator
How/where do i those files?
