Guess what? They don't seem to care any more (at least not when I asked
for the information.) I would love to put out the 'solution', especially
since it is rather obvious and simple. In light of the level of
hostility on this issue, I will not have -anything- to do with it
however. It just ain't worth it.
I am deeply sorry if I offended any XFree86 people with my original posting.
I had no intention of digging into deep wounds. I have tremendous respect for
the work they are doing. I honestly wish I could help them. I thought that
perhaps I had. Apparently not.

P.S. In case it was noticed -I- am dropping this issue on the newsgroups.
Had I known it was such a mess I would have never cluttered this
area. Sorry.
