X start failure - OpenGL Version

Hi, lockdown times gave me finally times to update my workstation/home server to 6.6 too, after my successful laptop upgrades. I was a moment scared when fw_update told me to reboot due to microcode update :-P But it went fine. I followed 6.5 -> 6.6 upgrade. All packages are upgraded too

Hi Stefan! sorry for the even longer delay - but dayjob was demanding, working even on sunday. However, if you can read this message, it means that I am connected through the internal ipw card to WEP WiFi at the first attempt. Wonderful. Great work, Stefan, Both patches together applied,

gold linker on OpenBSD

Hello, is the gold linker available for OpenBSD i386? maybe as a package and I am not finding it? I have issues linking with the standard and bfd linkers, a suggestion was to use gold, which helps on e.g. FreeBSD. Riccardo
