Re: Is this a security issue?
Thanks, Ze. In all fairness, people jump at an opportunity to attack someone, but it actually takes a certain level of expertise to interpret highly technical search results. I google. I don't write intel graphics drivers. And I was under the impression there would be no graphics errors week 1 of me using OpenBSD due to the way OpenBSD was centered around code auditing and only releasing something very stable and tested, especially something so senstive as graphics.

A quick search would have told you so. This is a mailing list, with people that actually have to take some of their time to reply, not a search engine. --
