9 I gave -r4 a shot yesterday on my amd64. A few problem I encountered:
10
11 - xterm could not compile properly and was giving me the "locale not
12 supported; could not open input method" errors. I haven't looked into
13 the problem in detail
14 - the default xorg.conf that came with it had
15 `FontPath "/usr/lib64/fonts/..."' which I belive has something to do
16 with the default "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/..." in -r3, which has to
17 be "/usr/share/fonts" anyway.
18
19 Other than that it worked straight out of the box. Not sure why the xkb
20 directory was also moved to /usr/lib64/xkb though.
