But what to do?? Searching debian.org I only find two versions of XFree86, the one I have installed (and which is apparently almost identical to the one I was running) and a somewhat older one. Does there exist an apt-get undo ?? Is libc stable? I notice than when kreadconfig seg faults it is in libc. When I was playing with Mplayer, all the seg faults were in libc. One involved realloc so I assumed the app was passing a bad pointer but one seg fault was on a memalign and the params were good. Richard
