Hello, After reading this post I went to sunsite.unc.edu and dl'd version .69 of MGR to give it a go on my Thinkpad LCD screen(can't get X to work)...unfortunately I"ve been unable to get a clean compile under 2.2.5 and was wondering if maybe I don't have the latest version to try? If you could please point me in the direction of the newest (or last) release I would appreciate it!
