Actually one thing I never learned was C/C++ or OOP for that matter. 

But the trio of ./configure, make & make install is not very hard to do.

I guess you went with the Linux compatibility thing. The only thing I've ever 
done with OBSD, until last week, was using it for building firewalls. So I'm 
not at home with how to use the ports etc. (I came from a SCO/SGI/Linux 
background.) Plus it seems an outpoint to use them, as they could easily ruin 
the security. Especially if run on a firewall. :)

What I would definitely appreciate are more detailed instructions to get to 
apply the etherape patch and so on. I.e. what I know about compiling under C 
is to run the three steps. I can debug failed dependencies and add them but 
not yet familiar with the BSD particulars (if they differ). So I don't know 
where I might fail.

Ah, I just installed X and ran the xorg config and fired it up with startx. 
Not legibility problems at all. (My video card is probably different than 
yours :)
