Hi, OK, thanks for the info. I mis-wrote my thoughts: is it due to the fact of the gzip-error (see earlier on this list) that a new, fixed XFree86 is not compiled and put into place, yet?

Meanwhile I just stay interested ;-) Ineiti -- ------------------------------ Linus Gasser Chemin des C�dres 1 1004 Lausanne 021 647 53 05 http://www.linusetviviane.ch ------------------------------
