I don't know how quickly we feel we need to react - if XFree 3.3 come in two weeks (as the rumors say), then we can depend on that and still have as quick response as most commercial vendors. However, Red Hat has already provided a binary patch for _their_ systems. Depends on how people feel; I'm not quite certain how I we should react to bugs in bundled software. > Have you talked to anyone else with XFree86 about it? No. However, it is all over bugtraq, so I guess they should know. Eivind.
