Then at least we have a record of the fact that this problem was found, I'm not sure how much interest there would be in fixing it though.... BTW, does anyone know what I should get from kgdb to go into the bug report in order for it to be of maximum use for those who might be able to fix the problem? Is is just a 'where' or is there something that is more useful? > (Despite entries 9-11, no, I don't yet have DRI working. :-/ I still > have to follow the instructions on the FreeBSD DRI webpage to apply > all of the patches and give it a whirl.).
