Has anyone tried the specific instructions I gave to reproduce
the problem ?
i.e.:
- make world
- making and installing a new kernel
- mergemaster
- reboot
- deletion of ALL installed ports
- recompile of every essential port (inc XFree 3.3.6)
Then: Build xaos from ports (/usr/ports/graphics/xaos)
Run xaos and press 'a'
