Ok. I only deleted "-no-xft", but during configuration it showed xft enabled,
since it seems to be the default without "-no-xft"

Ok. Installed XFree 4.2.0
However, even though dpkg is happy about dependencies, KDE won't start with my
compiled qt3 libs. KDM crashes on startup. Why is that?

I hope that means only the QT3 libraries, not the alll the apps as well.
So I still don't have anti-aliasing. Can anyone enlighten me to why kde apps
don't work with my comiled qt-libs?
TIA

PS: I also tried the qt3-libs of unstable (Version 3.0.4-5), but kde (kdm)
crashes with them too.
Also apt-get upgrade always goes back to the compiled qt3-libs from my
sources.list, even though they have the same version info as my compiled
ones. Why??
