GRRR" :) ) i was able to link MesaGl by removing the leading underscores (actually by undef'ing FreeBSD in the asm files) XF86 built ok. then Xaccel overlaid it fine. a buncha other things with a bit of sweat and blood compiled seemingly ok. anyhow it has been an experiance. thank you, Alfred Perlstein - Programmer, HotJobs Inc. - www.hotjobs.com -- There are operating systems, and then there's FreeBSD. -- http://www.freebsd.org/ 3.0-current On Tue, 22 Sep 1998, Jordan K.
