Hell, -8 won't even patch on my box ( the 001_something diff just barfs with 23-odd rejects). The one I tried before (-6) I got to compile but couldn't create the xserver-xfree86 package, which is why I asked about any black magic involved there. For all I can tell, XFree 4.01 isn't exactly trivial to build on PPC, so packages being a bit out of sync doesn't strike me as odd. I'll continue trying xfree builds as I see new releases, but I can't spend a whole lot of time to investigate build problems, sorry. Michael
