Yes, I caught the thread on that board. But didn't find the solution you provided. Thanks! That was the /magic/ required to stop the whining offender (gdkx.h). After some more research and investigation, this anomoly appears to be a GTK/GD issue, and not X. I'm trying to figure out how to get this #ifdef hack sucked in globally for the gtk/gd environment. I'm /pretty/ sure gdkx.h will probably cover it. But would rather have it sucked in from a seperate file. So as to not contaminate the actual header file. I've cc'd the ports list, in hopes there is a better solution and (even better) a newer version that resolves this problem. ######### NOTE to ports list: please cc me in your replies. ######### Thanks again for your reply. --Chris > > Cheers > > Mark > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- panic: kernel trap (ignored) ----------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p12 (SMP - 900x2) Tue Mar 7 19:37:23 PST 2006 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
