I have already posted about this matter yesterday and I have followed the discussion on the Xorg-x11 problem; Someone advised me not to upgrade xorg until a fix is released. Well I think it's a very good idea if only, upgrading thru synaptic would allow me to deselect the Xorg upgrade. I am trying to attempt a whole smart upgrade via apt/synaptic but it won't allow me to deselect the xorg-x11 upgrade. is there a work around this? How can I exclude this upgrade? is it easier in yum to exclude these packages? Mirco
