You forget that unix binaries are being demand-paged, that is, you basically don't load the unnecessary parts of the binary at all. So don't expect too much from rebuilding the server. > When I run "make" in /usr/X11R6/lib/Server, the compile > generally bombs due to an inclusion of lgnumalloc. It's not needed anyway. Make the FreeBSD.cf file correctly specifying your operating system version. For FreeBSD >= 2.2, libgnumalloc is not supposed to be used at all, but the older XFree86 releases (including 3.2) accidentally hardwired the FreeBSD version in the .cf file. After this, you need to update the Makefiles though: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/Server make Makefile make Makefiles -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
