So, this is a comment for the 3.3.6 version of X or 4.1.x? If it's 4.1.x, then you should probably submit this as a bug to xserver-xfree86. If it's the old version, well maybe Branden will tell us here, but I suspect since there will be no further revisions to that version of X, it would do no good to submit a bug. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
