Would that > fix it? Rich Yes and no. It won't fix it as long as the location of that file is defined to be inside the XFree86 distribution, where our cvs can't touch it. Would be kinda nice if either that file or site def (which is currently in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11config and totally _empty_) were sited somewhere accessible to our tree. Personally, I would want some chance to mess with the contents of that file by giving verbal input to XFree86 members, but not have that inside our tree. I would have the site.def in our tree somewhere, where it being empty or missing wouldn't kill things. > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
