Hi again Robert.

Thanks so much. No problem at all, it was only an exercise of compiling 
from Linux just to see if it worked and as a learning procedure. I have 
to expend several days under Debian in that particular computer to test 
if and old Xorg freezing problem gets fixed after some blind kernel 
parameter tweaks. I was bored and missed my NetBSD system and started to 
play with cvs and compiling code.

Regards.
Ramiro.
