Installed The Latest Changes to Current and......
Ugh!
X crashes and reports a segmentation fault, address nil.
I've been using the generic Radeon driver without any problems, until now. Looks like it will be winblows until I figure out the problem.

After upgraded the X crashed too.
It complained that missing liblzma.so.0, so i made a link to liblzma.so.5 and it worked.
other issues of the lastest current update:
1. /dev/shm missing, revert to udev-153 fixed
2. the rc.M script section of gdk-pixbuf2 error
g_module_open() failed for /root/--update-cache: /root/--update-cache.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
3. bluetooth mouse not worked, revert former version of bluez fixed

Can anyone comment on the font situation with these new updates? The default GTK font changed from actual arial to Liberation Sans, using gtk-chtheme to set it back doesn't work. If arial is selected, it is autotragically (did i just invent that?) changed back to Liberation Sans.
Additionally, monospace 8 is ... different. As if it were really just monospace 9 with less space between the lines; the character sizes look the same.
Is there anyone use the Norway mirror of Slackware -current? I used it to update with slackpkg but got a lot of md5 checksum failed. When I change to US mirror, there is no error.
I am using slackware64 current, the gdk-pixbuf2 script still compained after installed.
Are you running multilib?
Apparently there's a new dependency from gtk-query-immodules (in gtk+2) to gdk-pixbuf2. You need to get gdk-pixbuf2-2.22.1-i486-1.txz and convert and install it --
