Mike, much thanks. I've been trying to catch you off and on all weekend on #xfree86-devel on openprojects. I was politely informed that few developers hang out on #xfree86 and I'd have better luck elsewhere. I'd love to work through this with someone, from identification/verification to a patch. At this point, this bug/issue is a show stopper for my application, so it's my top priority. If I happen to learn something as well and can contribute further, so be it. ;-) --Chris On Mon, 2002-08-19 at 00:39, Mike A.
