I did.

You mentioned it.

Do you understand that none of us has FC5 running? Do you understand 
that we can only help you, if you cooperate, and put some effort into
finding the problem yourself by following our hints?

Did you understand that this upgrade exchanged completely your Xorg
installation? Do you understand that this causes quite a few problems
to other people too? See, when the FreeNX you use was released it could
be made so that it knew about standard paths used by X (including font
paths); and node.conf wasn't required because FreeNX worked with its
defaults.

Now that you changed some of the environment FreeNX was functioning in
underneath its a**e, you may need to tell it about some of the new para-
meters. That's why you may need to use a node.conf now. But not a 1:1
copy of the *sample (which has everything commented out) -- rather one
that is adapted to your needs.

"looked at" is not enough. Have you ever tried to follow some of the
detailled steps outlined there? And if so, why didn't you say so?
And what were the results?

You said your nxserver.log was empty... Did you notice the hints in 
the FAQ how you can make it log more verbosely? Did you notice the
hints in the FAQ about *other* logfiles but the nxserver.log to 
look at? See, with each NX connection there is also sshd involved
which tends to log into its own log files.

John, you're stealing my time by not being as cooperative as you 
*could* be: you have not made *any* visible effort to provide more
info; specifically, you have not answered my questions, and have not 
responded to Thorsten's hints. Let me hold your hand one last time
by repeating, while rephrasing and being more specific, and by
paraphrasing contents of the FAQ: 

* Did you edit the node.conf so that it does not only contain
  comments?

* What are now the actual contents of node.conf (without any
  comments)?

* What is the value you set for NX_LOG_LEVEL ?  What about 
  SESSION_LOG_CLEAN ?

* To what values did you set the other parameters mentioned 
  in the FAQ ? 

* Did you check logs on *both* sides of the failing connection?

* Do you succeed in running this command:
  "ssh -i /usr/NX/share/keys/server.id_dsa.key nx at nxserver" ?

* Also, have you searched the archives of this list for other
  reports about FC5 problems, and how they were solved?

Cheers,
Kurt   [ not really hoping for a better answer this time, but
         betting on yet another "It still does not work. What 
         now?"-mail... ]
