Your attitude is somehow > weird as you demand others to fix problems you are experiencing. > Honestly speaking I am a bit disturbed by this attitude. at this point, i don't much care. recently, i've been investing some time in OE, doing some builds and reporting bugs when i've found them so, yes, i am *also* part of that community of which you speak. i even promoted OE for the beagleboard when i gave a talk recently at ontario linux fest: http://onlinux.ca/node/78 when i first ran across that xterm bug, i reported it. nothing happened. i waited, and mentioned it again. eventually, philip balister admitted that he'd reproduced it. good, i thought, someone else has seen it so it should be fixed eventually. nothing. so i mentioned it *again*, but only after doing some research, to the point where i tracked down the *cause* of the bug, posted a detailed explanation of that cause, and even mentioned that i'd verified that a proposed fix solved the problem. nothing. at this point, i've quite given up on investing any more time trying to help out. > Work on OE is purely community driven, ... i'm well aware of that. i was trying to become a productive *member* of that community. at this point, i've pretty much lost interest. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
