No, actually all X Servers require miscbitmaps to get the font which has the cursors. Either that or they require a working fontserver, and that option of working fontserver, common in thin client systems, is why I won't add a miscbitmaps dependency to servers. I would definitely accept a patch to make the error message when you lack the font more useful. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
