Sam, that's not the only problem I have when trying to build from ports on 9=
.1=20

It's an ATI Radeon video card. I forget whether it's a 67xx or a 76xx series=
.  I saw a couple of the problems I have on the KDE list. One is the screen g=
oes black leaving just the mouse pointer when you log out. I'll try the thin=
gs suggested on that list to see if I can get it to work.

Thanks for your help!

Stan
