The achievement in integrating Xfree86 v4.3.x in the release of FBSD v4.8 will be admirable. I've been looking at it as of this week as well as KDE v3.1 and Gnome v2.2 on various platforms. There are some issues, but its in the integrating between the desktop environments (KDE vs Xfree86) and not FreeBSD specific. I'm reviewing the quality of the builds/ports of KDE 3.1 and Gnome 2.2 integration with Xfree86 v 4.3.x. I'll be glad to look into this on FreeBSD for QA testing. ~Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Anholt" <eta@lclark.edu> To: "Ken Mays" <kmays2000@hotmail.com> Cc: "Igor Pokrovsky" <igor.pokrovsky@cnrm.meteo.fr>; "Jose M.
