Doug Rabson (dfr@render.com) has written some of the changes, and I've been testing them. They fix most of the problems I was having with Fresco. I'll let Doug discuss the changes he's made. He did post about his changes a few weeks back, but he seemed to be summarily ignored. Maybe now he can bring things back up again. I've gotten Fresco to build, albeit I hacked my way through it. I'll be happy to send my FreeBSD.cf and the other files I have. BTW, the version with X11R6 is OLD. If you look at the link http://www.faslab.com/fresco/HomePage.html You'll find where to get the latest version.
