You might notice broken symlinks in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html. This seems to be a bug in
the XFree86 build/install. The manindex3.html file is also corrupted. The broken symlinks
can simply be deleted.
The index.html file in the docs points to manindex5x.html, but the filename may
actually be manindex5.html. Just make a symlink to fix it:
<screen>
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html
rm *3x.html
-- if you want to play with mass renaming files, you can
-- use a command like the following:
for afile in *3.html; do export afile; mv "$afile" "`awk 'BEGIN {print gensub("3.html","3x.html","G",ENVIRON["afile"]) }'`"; done;
ln -s manindex5.html manindex5x.html

Hopefully this HTML doc problem will be fixed soon!
