An educated guess would be that the underlying system (e.g. Xorg, the compiler, or even most of the OS) changed over time, and nobody in the development side of things was using any of the hardware that (now) fails, to be able to notice that it failed. For people without that specific hardware, probably the only failure that they're going to notice would be a compilation error. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
