Feel free to write a complete and robust parser for XF86Config files in POSIX shell and submit it to me for inclusion in the XFree86 packages. > second microbug: why the bug is still tagged as "unreproducible"?

Because: 1) Your problem with trying to connect to the X server via a TCP connection when the X server is not listening on a TCP port has nothing to do with the original report. 2) Neither does your complaint about the failure of the xfree86 package maintainer scripts to parse existing configuration files. The Debian BTS will not be very useful to anyone if everybody piles all their unrelated gripes into one bug report. Please stop abusing the Debian BTS in this fashion. -- G.
