Can anyone on the debian-x list (also receiving this message) attempt to reproduce this? I seriously doubt the X server is looking for and parsing the file /usr/src/linux-2.6.0/Makefile on the system, so unless Mr. Andersen is experiencing a coincidence (i.e., the server crashed for some other reason that wasn't 100% deterministic, and him changing the Makefile didn't actually have anything to do with it working again), what we're probably looking for is some code that actually cares what version of the Linux kernel is on the system. Such code would probably be confined to xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support. -- G. Branden Robinson | You are not angry with people when Debian GNU/Linux | you laugh at them.
