Thanks Jon, I looked into the spec file and here is what's inside : %config(noreplace) %verify(not md5 size mtime) %{_sysconfdir}/X11/fs/config So I believe my config file got replaced because I had not changed the one delivered with the preceding xorg-x11-xfs package but there must be a bug somewhere that leads to a config file with only the lines : # don't listen on tcp by default no-listen = tcp The section of the post-install script that deals with /etc/X11/fs/config : if [ -n "$use_unix" ] && ! grep -q "no-listen" /etc/X11/fs/config &> /dev/null;then echo -e "# don't listen on tcp by default\nno-listen = tcp\n" >> /etc/X11/fs/config fi It seems the script was applied on an empty config file... But the config file distributed in the binary RPM is not empty. So it is mysterious...
