PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=117854 -- Coleman Kane Hi there, I've checked what I'm using and it is: pkg_info | grep pixman pixman-0.9.6Low-level pixel manipulation library So I'm already using this version while experiencing those problems. I'm so glad I removed everything because now my workstation is stable again and that's a huge relief for me. Brgds Dino - Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail.

I was experiencing this bad behavior because I was running securelevel 3 ass well so Xorg kept crashing like crazy and I couldn't do anything else. I finally gave up on gnash and hopefully everything will work better now. Thanks for your help. This message of yours made me uninstall gnash and I think for the better.
