 I have a plan to revamp the way that the startup process's output is
 presented and stored for later viewing.  I need to chat to some folks
 first about the best way to do this, first.  Be patient, and look
 forward to something interesting in 5.0-RELEASE. :-)
 
 Ciao,
 Sheldon.

On that subject, can you give me a rough projection as to when
5.0-RELEASE is likely to arrive?

 Just upgraded to -CURRENT as of about noon (EST) today. At reboot
 I got a lot of these:
 
 microuptime() went backwards (1.7682417 - 1.997434)
 
 I recall reading in -current earlier this week that someone was
 looking for victims getting this. What further information can I provide?

If it is of any relevance, I got hundreds of these messages from
4.0-RELEASE, on my Athlon 1Ghz, Abit KA7-100 system. So many, in fact,
that every time it happened, I was left with no choice but to reboot, as
it slowly brought the system to its knees. Building the kernel without
apm fixed the problem, and I have since had no problems.

 BTW - there is no XF86Setup in XFree86-4 yet.

No, but there is xf86cfg, which is even better ;^) 

It correctly autodetected both my Monitor and Video card, meaning that I
was able to get maximum performance out of both (proper Modelines).
Though 1962x1440 is pushing it on a 19" monitor ;^) 

I think I'll stick to 1600x1200.
