having had centos running fineon my nw8240 laptop I recently decided to try doing an update, now X wont start up - its keep reporting problems with various gnome libraries missing, if I look in /usr/lib there are some links to files that no longer exist or are different versions i.e. libgnomecanvase-2.so.0 instead of libgnomecanvas-2.so.
Is there a simple method of rolling back ? or of getting the ati driver and gnome to work again ?

updating doesn't normally make files go away ... how (what) did you update? Do you have repositories other than the CentOS base ones enabled?
If you want to roll back, you can use the command:
rpm -qa --last > rpms.last
you can edit rpms.last and see which RPMS were installed (in reverse date order) and reinstall the ones that you would like to reinstall.
Looks like the problem started around the same time xorg was upgraded to 6.8.2 - looks like I need to go back to 6.8.0 :(((
ho hum.
thanks for the pointer
