Unfortunately, I haven't been able to compile older CVS versions. Simply issued 'cvs co -D "2004-08-31" xc', didn't touch anything, used the 'make World > world.log 2>&1' command, as usual. The result is in ERR-1 (this is from the 2004-09-30 snapshot, because I overwrited the 2004-08-31 logfile, but the results were the same). I used gcc 3.3.5, which is the default C compiler in Debian sid. (I tried compiling with gcc 2.95, with the same result). So I disabled Xinerama support and tried again. The result is in ERR-2. I suppose, that the problem is related to the included headers, because the programs/Xserver/dix/dispatch file is almost the same as the version in current CVS, and the programs/Xserver/Xext/panoramiX*.h headers haven't changed. Current CVS version compiles cleanly. Any suggestions, how can I make older versions to compile? Geller Sandor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
