I udated it later for XFree 4 but due to lack of time (thesis first :-) I had no oportunity to send an official patch to XFree86. But I sent it to Jean-Marc Zucconi, that is currenly working on a new XFree-4 port with thread support. Stay tuned to the "-ports" mailing list. Back to thesis... -- Carlos A.
