s/can/cannot/

I'm dealing with it now. If you use bento packages, then sdl needs
mesa, and mesa installs the wrong libGL.so.* for XF86-4, and then
things get SIGBUS and other crap that they should not. 

I use mplayer. So I have build Mesa from source, then build sdl from
source, then build mplayer. If I use the bento packages for sdl or mesa,
then the programs die at funny places because the libs don't match the
XF86 version.

Oh, and this affects KDE, too. fsck --harder --with-a-cactus /dev/me.
