manual installation of the i386 packages (freenx used to be a .noarch package which seems more appropriate, why did that change?) on x86_64 worked well.
I did not answer that question before :) ... there is a c program that needs to be compiled now (nxserver-helper) so there is more than just bash scripts and the package is now arch dependent ... where as before is was only text files, batch scripts, and docs.

The error messages for xclock and xosview when using the new nx/freenx packages are below, in case someone could look into this.
I know this kind of message from old times when using 8-bit colormaps. But e.g. "xwininfo" tells me Depth: 24 Visual Class: TrueColor
I'd also like to mention that this problem occur no matter if I use a Linux or Windows NX client. So it seems that it's a server-only problem. Going back to the old nx/freenx package fixes the colormap problems.

This is now corrected with the latest versions, which are available now:
freenx-0.5.0-12.el4.centos.i386.rpm nx-2.1.0-4.el4.centos.i386.rpm
========================================================================
The NX and FreeNX RPMS in the testing Repository have been upgraded. Here is what has changed:
NX:
1. Incorporated the latest No Machine releases from this announcement: http://www.nomachine.com/news-read.php?idnews=188
FreeNX:
1. Upgraded to the latest SVN version (revision 282) to fix the xosview / xclock issues that are noted before.
2. Renamed (and modified) the former patch named fc5patch.diff to CentOS-4-patch.diff
3. Removed nxclient.diff as that functionality was rolled in already with SVN revision 282.
4. Added nxnode slave mode (and nxserver-helper).
I think this version is more stable than the last ... please test and provide feedback so we can roll this out.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
