Anyone interested, please apply the diffs at: http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/X/files.html to your ports tree and install. Besides basic problems I may have caused with the ports, oddities in cursor handling would be particularly likely because of changes in 4.3.0 which were somewhat last-minute. Some changes have been made in XFree86 CVS post-4.3.0 already, so if you report anything I may be able to track down a fix. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
