Damn it. I use this software, and I even feel somewhat responsible for perhaps possibly Tuomo here after I reported a crash under FreeBSD 7 on the ion list that wound up having something to do with the mod_xinerama extension -- something that I haven't had time to further look into. Tuomo, I wasn't running the version in ports CVS. I was running a modified local port that did pull the latest ion sources. I also had to explicitly enable mod_xinerama with a make define; so, it isn't part of the the binary package or a default port install. I really don't see why the extreme action of removing it from ports was necessary. :sigh: -- Russell A.
