The > machine is behind our firewall anyway). I've seen the advisory, too. Seems to me that the bug only represents a problem when user accounts are permitted on the machine. I'm planning on using 2.1.6 as a proxy and packet filter, so I think that'll be safe. No user accounts on those systems, so there's no way to mess up a locale. I plan on upgrading, in any case. > Now, if someone could show me how to get 1152x800 (not x900) to work with > AccelX. I use this mode under XFree86 and want it under AccelX as well. Not supported in the current release. We have asked our accelx-users mailing list if they wanted 1152x864. I think that's the mode you want, since it provides square pixels (an exact 4x3). We originally chose the 1152x900 for compatibility with workstation resolutions. We will probably change from 1152x900 to 1152x864 in a forthcoming release. Since many PC graphics boards claim 1152x864, and there seems to be relatively little real interest in 1152x900 vs a move to 1152x864, we're thinking that a move makes sense for our customers. Few will notice the 36 line change, unless they've started applications with '-geometry +800' or something, to make a application rest exactly with the bottom aligned with the the display. It's probably better to use '-geometry -100' in those conditions, to make sure that whatever the resolution, the application gets positioned to the bottom edge.
