man can't seem to load manpages installed by modular X packages into
/usr/share/man/man[0-9]x when they are not called with a specific section. they
do show up with man -k, and can be loaded by using a section name however.
ie.
dirtyepic ~ $ man -k radeon
radeon (4x) - ATI RADEON video driver
dirtyepic ~ $ man radeon
No manual entry for radeon
dirtyepic ~ $ man 4x radeon
[loads manpage]
this can be fixed just by adding the sections to MANSECT in /etc/man.conf

i don't know if these are all the sections that are needed, they're just the
ones i had on my system.
thats because [0-9]x are not valid categories atm and you didnt update
your man.conf to declare them as such
x11 team needs to decide what they want me to do before i update man
spyderous: Fedora updates their man.conf MANSECT variable to include
[0-9]x as i suggested on irc

OK, please go with that.
1.6b-r2 searches [1-8]x then
