Please send me your Xconfig and relax because >>we fixed this bug for XFree86 and ported XFree86 to 386bsd. While I have the utmost respect for Roell's contributions, I am saddened that he chose to flame Amancio like that. Amancio has contributed a lot to making X go under 386BSD. I exchanged email with him several times in the process of getting X up and he always gave detailed responses with amazingly short turnaround times. And I do not believe he was trying to steal credit from anyone. In the 386BSD world, Amancio is *the* X windows expert, at least among those actively posting. He created the executables almost everyone uses. He posted to offer help to a guy who was having an X problem *on 386BSD*. And that, I believe, is what he was trying to communicate -- that he was the guy to talk to to get the problem fixed. So please, a little more kindness. We are all on the same team. -- -- Email info@NeoSoft.com for info on getting interactive Internet access. "In a minute, I'll burp up your droid."
