Third attempt to send to the list ( a forwarding of a saved SENT message.)
However another question
In the make.conf there is WITH_NEW_XORG
but I've not the vt(9) driver.
UPDATING is not clear (today 4 16) enough as to wheter WITH_NEW_XORG =

ot
a 9-STABLE rebuilt since its introduction probably.
Questions below remain.
Apologizing for top posting, but the bottom posting does not appear at the =
list yet.
Glitch somewhere.
Don't know if the email arriving is more important than the questions in th=
e =
email or not...
