After seeing that xorg will be switching to libpciaccess (probably/possibly in xorg 7.4), I asked for the bug report to be closed. However, the patch file will hang around in the port files dir (cvsup/csup won't delete it), so it'll have to be removed when the xorg-server port changes. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
