ok, now I'm in rpm hell. I have downloaded the rpms required to
reinstall X. I start by attempting to install
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.i386.rpm which says it requires libGL.so.1. So I
then attempt to install xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-1.i386.rpm which
contains libGL.so.1. It won't install because it requires libX11.so.6,
libXet.so.6, and libXxf86vm.so.1. Those three files are in the original
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.i386.rpm. Each rpm requires the other.How amI
supposed to install that?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
