[gentoo-user] Corrupted files in xorg?

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 436 bytes --]

Hi All,

I was checking through some of the xorg files and discovered two files with 
0000 access permissions in /usr/lib/X11:
==============================================
----------  1 root root     0 Apr 17  2005 X11
----------  1 root root     0 Apr 17  2005 fs
==============================================

The files are empty.  Does this make sense to you?  What should they look like 
instead?

Regards,
Mick

Hey Mick, I don't have either of those files in my /usr/lib/X11 directory...

This is the contents of the whole directory:
=============================================
# ls -la /usr/lib/X11
total 137
drwxr-xr-x  7 root root   328 Jul 12 17:55 .
drwxr-xr-x 85 root root 53008 Jul 21 17:07 ..

drwxr-xr-x  3 root root   376 Jul  7 10:19 xdm
=============================================

I'll check the fs integrity although no fs errors are shown on boot up.

Thanks!  :)

There are some differences with mine there, besides the two corrupt files.  
I'm none the wiser with this problem.  :-(

This needs someone with more modular xorg knowledge than I (not difficult).  
Is Donnie please watching us?
