(PS. i also wanted to ask about some strange behavior I'm seeing with the mouse pointer in XFree86 4.0, but as I'm on my way out the door at the moment i'll save it for later... ) cheers, -mark `` between thought and expression, lies a lifetime '' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
