I can't really deal with software bugs, but here are a few points that
may be useful to anyone, please read this before sending me bug
reports :

x use linux_base-fc4, this is going to be the default linux_base port
RSN (and linux-xorg-libraries
x if you have a nvidia card, don't forget to define WITH_NVIDIA_GL=yes
somewhere
x read what Alexander writes about linux stuff, he knows what he's
talking about :-)
