Any chance of a 3.2-u1 >version? :) I doubt there'll be any update releases from XFree86, just the betas. Our time is already overcommitted on other things. If someone builds a fixed xload, I'll put it on ftp.xfree86.org. Same goes for updated xterm/xdm (and whatever else uses utmp) binaries for current. As to the KOI8-R problem, it's still not clear to me if it is fully resolved, or how dependent the fix for it is on the R6.3 version of Xlib. None of this is tied to XFree86-specific code though, and when fixed an updated copy of libX11.so.6.1 will be required (the version numbering of this library is unchanged in R6.3). David
