I've got -nolisten tcp working on this machine with the 4.3.99.5 snapshot; it's getting called as More recent snapshots have the IPv6 integrated, and on IPv6 capable systems, the handling of -nolisten has changed (and will probably change again before the next release). You should use '-nolisten inet4 -nolisten inet6' with the -current code to disable tcp sockets on both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. A better solution that will make '-nolisten tcp' do that again is in the works. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

No-one else seems to have mentioned this, so I'll address it; pass the server the options -nolisten tcp on the command line. thanks. hummm but it doesn't seem to work This is how I'm invoking X, it's a djb daemontools (tcpserver) run script. #!/bin/sh exec 21 exec envuidgid user /usr/bin/X11/X -ac -nosilk -br -allowMouseOpenFail \ -nolisten tcp It works great, even if I kill X it comes back up, but it still listens on 6000.

I'm really glad I got a buildable snapshot of xc! For my project the load has gone from 90-115% to 50-85% so it's clear the cle266 is being utilized :-} // George -- GEORGE GEORGALIS, System Admin/Architectcell: 646-331-2027IXOYE Security Services, Web, Mail,mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Multimedia, DB, DNS and Metrics. http://www.galis.org/george ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

In virtually every case, dynamic modules are only loaded once at server start time. Static linking will not gain you any run-time performance. For a server-only system, all you need to do is avoid copying the tool binaries to your target system. Whether they are built or not is irrelevant.

I searched for the directory containing what looked like modules, regexed the names and put them all in my XF86Config. :) most of them _are_ commented out but via is one that I do load. Which directories contain modules that should be loaded from the config? BTW - thanks to the other posters on this thread -- look like good tips, will report back when I get everything rebuilt. // George -- GEORGE GEORGALIS, System Admin/Architectcell: 646-331-2027IXOYE Security Services, Web, Mail,mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Multimedia, DB, DNS and Metrics. http://www.galis.org/george ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
