The problem with the IPv6 support commited to XFree86 CVS, was that it requires the system to have IPv6 support wether you actually use IPv6 at all or not. In other words, if your kernel does not support IPv6, then you can not use XFree86 CVS as it requires IPv6 unconditionally to be available on the system wether or not the X server will actually be used with IPv6. That was the original problem, however I do not know if that is still the case or wether it's been fixed now or not. It's possible that someone fixed the IPv6 to not be unconditional, but if it did get fixed, I must have missed seeing the checkin. If the issue is still present however, then anyone compiling XFree86 CVS and using it must have IPv6 on their system, even if they don't use it. Hope this helps. TTYL -- Mike A.
