I should have noticed that myself - DUH!

What threw me off was the error I get when I try and install the latest
TeamViewer RPM (supposedly designed for Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva
(32/64-Bit)):

[root at foxbase Download]# urpmi teamviewer_linux.rpm 
A requested package cannot be installed:
teamviewer7-7.0.9310-1.i386 (due to unsatisfied libXdamage(x86-32))
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) 

I saw the big X in the name and thought that is what it is called . .

[root at foxbase Download]# locate libXdamage
/usr/lib/libXdamage.so.1
/usr/lib/libXdamage.so.1.1.0
/usr/lib64/libXdamage.so
/usr/lib64/libXdamage.so.1
/usr/lib64/libXdamage.so.1.1.0

Duh!

Thanks . . .

Robert
