FC2 does not use XF86 - it moves to X.org's Xserver, so if you have significant customisations in your Xserver configuration, you will have to re-apply them to FC2. Other programs should be unaffected in they have no dependencies on programs that do get upgraded. <disclaimer>I have not yet upgraded to FC2 :)</disclaimer> Cheers, Ben
