You don't really need to worry about "keeping the XFree86 packages at bay". Just install them and let dependencies get handled by dselect. All you need to run Acc-X is to: - make sure /etc/Xaccel.ini exists (run Xsetup) - make sure /usr/bin/X11R6/Xaccel/ and /usr/lib/X11R6/Xaccel exist (from the installation) - make sure that the symlink /usr/X11R6/bin/X points to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xaccel (you may have to reset this periodically as new XFree packages are installed and overwrite it). -- Robb Aley Allan [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Helical Design Myron A.
