After a full upgrade this morning from older test3 to the newest
stuff, I'm unable to startx or to boot to runlevel 5.
XFREE pkgs were some of those updated and now consist of:
rpm -qa|grep XF
  XFree86-libs-data-4.3.0-42
  XFree86-devel-4.3.0-42
  XFree86-libs-4.3.0-42
  XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-42
  XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.3.0-42

I'm pretty sure there should be a bunch more from
rpm -qa|grep XF

Particulary the font packages

If these were not installed during upgrade there must be something
fairly major wrong since I was runnning X before the upgrade.  I did
the upgrade with no X running however.

attempting to start collecting the missing packages I tried:
 up2date -i XFree86-100dpi-fonts  which is now hanging at the
 dependancy resolving part and been there about 1/2 hr.

up2date version is up2date-4.12.1-4

I'd like to see a list of the full set of packages requred.  And try
to piece them in by hand if necessary.
