You will be much more popular around here if you stop sending HTML mail to the FreeBSD lists. It has been widely recommended that you delete the contents of /usr/X11R6 before the "make install" as residual V3 files can cause really weird things to happen. I battled for hours with a Sony laptop until I nuked the X11R6 directory and re-installed clean. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
