I'm just wondering, isn't there a way to passing this bug directly to the XFree86 group? This bug/mis-spelling is just something that needs to be corrected. It's minor; we can both agree on that, but passing the buck puts in the same boat as some poor commercial software (M$). This leads me to ask should we really pass the buck, or should we as the best OS on the internet, perhaps, find a way to improve on the system and get this resolved? After all, this seems to be a most trival case. best regards, jessem. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
