I have a libXThrStub.so.6 installed, and things work (like wmaker etc)
but X is more unstable than I am after 12 beers.  Locks the machine up
hard quite often. :(

Also when I reboot and fsck runs, I notice an unsettling message:

ncr0: SCSI phase error fixup: CCB already dequeued (0xfffffe0000654c00)

Any ideas?

I am using an S3 Virge as well.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to make X more stable I would love
to hear them...

The real reason I installed FreeBSD on this system was so that I could
use X for development and school projects :(  It looks like that may not
be such a good idea (I REALLY dont want to go back to Tru64 :(
