I will be coming. I would very much like a bit of help from an X-11 guru to help me get this drm and frame-buffer stuff going properly. That won't take long so I will also be available to help with problems also.

I understand that they are just as bad as ever they were and it could well put them off Linux for ever! I will bring a Gibraltar CDROM and at the other end of the scale a floppy-firewall diskette. We are going to be playing with them at Avonmore on Saturday, so there is just an off-chance that I might remember what I did to get them going. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
