Hi all,

I have read about an patched libX11 several times. Can someone explain me how to use patched libraries the right way, please? And where can I find this patched libX11?

I have downloaded ted-2.17-iliad_0.2.tar.gz from http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad/users/antartica/ and found some libX* files in it. One of this files is called libX11.so.6. What I have done is: I replaced the downloaded libX11.so.6 with the one loacted in /usr/lib/ on my iLiad. Ok, this was apparent very stupid

. The effect was that my iLiad didn't start. Reflashing didn't work. For my happiness a friend helped me and got my iLiad running.

So I'll be very happy if someone of you can explain me how to make this the right way. I'm right that it is better to use the patched libX11 because of the screen refreshing problem, or?
