Mouse pointer invisible in Gnome2
I installed 4.10 with XF86 4.3 and Gnome2 on my IBM Thinkpad 600X laptop, which has a Neomagic video card. I used ncurses to configure /etc/X11/XF86Config. Everything went fine except when I brought up Gnome the mouse pointer was nowhere to be seen. The mouse was working because when I moved it icons it evidently passed across would light up. The mouse pointer was invisible. On the same machine 5.2.1 freezes up when I xinit. Control-Alt-Backspace, Alt-F2 and all other commands known to me do nothing. To close it I had to unplug the power cable and remove the battery, not a preferred method to shut down. Red Hat 9 installs and runs perfectly (apart from the Lucent modem), and Gnome has a mouse pointer! An OS from Redmond which will remain Gnomeless installs and runs perfectly. I really like 4.10. How can I make the mouse pointer visible like in Red Hat? Paul Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Checked. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Packages in a 'build server' environment
I'm successfully using a dedicated build server for centralized 'make world' and building packages from Ports for a number of production FreeBSD servers. The question I'm running into now is, how do I build different configurations of packages of the same port for different machines or purposes? For example, I have a main web server where I need a highly customized configuration of the Apache port, but I only need a vanilla install of Apache for a mail server. I maintain my packages with portupgrade, by the way, and I imagine the 'way out' is through this utility, but I can't seem to nail down a specific example or instruction set.
