In the case of X, you should strongly consider reporting it against the proper xfree86 package, since it officially supports us at this point in time - HOWEVER, be very, very careful in doing this, because the maintainer is quite busy and prone to being annoyed at spurious reports (though he has no issue with valid ones). Given that I wrote the patches for xfree86 to support NetBSD, and that Branden will probably just turn around and ask me what's up, if it's a NetBSD specific problem, you should probably at least pass it by me first, at this stage in the game. Long-term, they'll all go to the BTS, but since you're the first person to find a bug on the platform (I can only do basic testing, right now), and doing alpha guinea-pig work (which I, at least, deeply appreciate!), it will cause less havoc to review such things before submitting (and I may be able to get you a patch faster). -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com lucifer@lightbearer.com http://users.lightbearer.com/lucifer/
