As soon as I upgraded to 2.2 (and the corresponding XFree86 release) it broke Motif. Things would still build but would very often dump core. XIG's solution was to use the XFree release from 2.1.7 and if I needed the newer video drivers from the newer releases to just use the newer releases server, and the old releases libs. I had Motif running for about 30 days before it did not get installed again on any of my machines.. They aren't even answering my email anymore about a newer version of Motif. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mozilla" in the body of the message
