Everything compiles except for contrib, which is bombing out while compiling gcc. And then, of course, I have the kernel panic problem with 4-Stable. I can compile and install everything other than contrib, and boot a 4.0-release kernel, and the system seems okay. But I'm mostly interested in 4-stable kernel patches, in the hope that this might fix two other problems I have with 4.0-release, namely: * when running X (XFree86 4.0; my Trident Cyberblade doesn't work with XFree86 3.x), and switching out of X to a console, and then switching back to the X display, X hangs and I have to do a hard reset. This may be an XFree86-4.0 problem, or possibly (I'm hoping) a syscons problem that (I'm hoping) is fixed in 4-stable * my touch pad `psm' device is completely beserk, and unusable. -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
