If you mean the one I spotted the version problem with then that is now
sorted as far as I am concerned (well at least we know the cause and what
has to be done ). This was another problem I had not really tackled as I
saw no point until the pcmcia issue was resolved.

 No. X is clearly trying to do something special (presumeably for
performance reasons, shades of Internet Explorer and its special calls to
the Win32 kernel as far as I am concerned). In any case I had tried that
and it clearly haad not sorted the problem. I suspect a build issue (e.g.
why no roles listed ?).

I'll try the install again and try to get full logs of the build.
