I'll just have to trust you on that. When I moved to Gentoo from WinXP, I started using X.org-6.8 from the start. The only time I used XFree was back 5 years ago on a slackware installation. [I abandoned linux for a number of years because of that experience; I was able to break X quckly but completely unable to fix it.] -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- [email protected] mailing list
