Livna's Fedora 7 repository has a much newer version which means that you probably have more mess than that. I suppose to see how badly you have things screwed up, you are going to have to tell it yum remove x264 and then get a list of what it's going to remove. Whether you say yes to removing or not is up to you. You might want to put the list of things yum wants to remove before you say yes or no. Your call, your machine, your mess Craig
