Steve politely pitched it to you that you were using an archaic application on an archaic version of an OS for an architecture that not a lot of people use these days and you may be advised to upgrade your system and/or application software. I don't know why but I didn't receive a copy of your reply to him thanking him for his observations and spending his time on the matter. > > Anyway, this has totally 'screwed' my business, since all > machines use this driver, and none have a windowing system now. I'm sure you'll be happy to point out what contributions you or your business have made to FreeBSD. Feel free to post URLs of commits you have made to src, ports or docs. Any monetary contributions you have made to the Foundation or to port maintainers who maintain the ports your business depends on. Even answers to other user's questions on this list that you have made would be a start.... Until then: best of luck with your business! Toodle pip! -- Frank https://woodcruft.co.uk/
