Hello Paul,
Thanks for the information. But, as for the plan of action, I think I'll
go the other way round. I'll reinstall FreeBSD 7.1 from scratch and just
make sure nobody ever touches my xorg setup again. I could upgrade my
system, yes, but my Celeron Coppermine 800 MHz + Intel 810-based
motherboard system was running just as fast as the fancy 2.0 GHz PC's at
IBM where I was working last year.
BTW, I seriously wish I were a billionaire so that I could help FreeBSD
get rid of this X client-server nuisance forever. I have never seen
anything so ill-conceived, pathetically fragmented (modular is the
polite way of referring to it), inefficient and featureless.
The Mission looks Impossible-3 but, for starters, I just got a job offer
yesterday from a multinational where the pay is roughly 50% higher.
So maybe, someday, ... :-)
