Hello all. I can't see that this was discussed any further. I wanted to bring this up again. It appears the patch mentioned here does fix the issue with xorg. I've not tried to reproduce it since Randy is already seeing the isssue (Actually I completely forgot about it with everything I have going on right now). I can only say that there have been no unexplained issues while using it. Here is the link to the DIY thread again for review: http://www.diy-linux.org/pipermail/diy-linux-dev/2005-August/000621.html And to the first confirmation that it works as advertised: http://www.diy-linux.org/pipermail/diy-linux-dev/2005-August/000622.html Thanks. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
