This email was written in November 2000... So... You're running versions of Netscape and XFree86 that are several years old, and not supported by anyone anymore. I'd recommend upgrading if at all possible. It's probably not a FreeBSD error, but even if it is, it's not going to get any attention until you're running the latest software (and probably -stable, too, which is not the same as 4.7-RELEASE). Best of luck, -David -- On the whole I am against mass murder. I rarely commit it myself, and often find myself quite out of sympathy with those who make a habit of it. -Bernard Levin Astronomy and Astrophysics Center The University of Chicago To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
