Has anyone experience this, and do you have a solution.

After upgrading my system from FBSD 2.2.1R to FBSD 2.2.2R I lost the use
of my X-Windows and my Open Look interface. What happen in X-Windows was
after logging into my system and starting the "X" session I noticed that
the interface had change from Open Look (olwm) to the default of "TWM."
Once the "twm" session had complete loading and the three default
windows were created I try to type a character in the xterm window
provided. As soon as I depress a key for a character my xterm windows
closed and disappeared. This reaction was consistent for the remaining
windows. Note that I could use my mouse I just could not use the
keyboard. After existing the X-Windows session and returning to my shell
account I notice the following errors on my monitor:

" (null):warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.0: minor version 0 older
than expected 1, using it anyway. "

then

" (null) Undefined symbol "XkbLookupKeySym" called from xterm:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 at 0x80bfbc0 "


If anyone has information that could assist me please reply.

I'm sending my Thanks in advance.
