As a workaround I have been just doing a local compile of 9lib and read then just copying the resulting read static binary to local/9/bin. Though this has provided temporary fixes its a pretty tedious process. Curious question: Have you noticed any weirdness the user environment whether it be in X or on the console while the fdescfs module is loaded ?. I have had some impacts with this being loaded in the past that I can not really explain and has deterred me from wanting to use the environment with that module loaded. I have noticed this happening since 6.1 through 7.2-STABLE and not specific to just the wmii port. Best regards. And thanks again. -- |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Jason J. Hellenthal http://www.DataIX.net/ jasonh@DataIX.net 0x691411AC - (2^(N-1))
