Then I remembered about code page issues when translators worked from different platforms (Unix, Windows...). I checked the file with the 'file' command: <BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE> init.c:        ASCII C program text, with CRLF line terminators vb_ext.c:      ASCII C program text vb_init.c:     ASCII C program text, with CRLF line terminators vb_setmode.c:  ASCII C program text, with CRLF line terminators xgi_accel.c:   ASCII C program text, with CRLF line terminators xgi_cursor.c:  ASCII C program text xgi_dac.c:     ASCII C program text xgi_dga.c:     ASCII C program text xgi_dri.c:     ASCII C program text xgi_driver.c:  ASCII C program text, with CRLF, LF line terminators xgi_opt.c:     ASCII C program text xgi_setup.c:   ASCII C program text, with CRLF, LF line terminators xgi_vb.c:      ASCII C program text xgi_vga.c:     ASCII C program text, with CRLF line terminators xgi_video.c:   ASCII C program text xgi_videohw.c: ASCII C program text </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> It just so happens that the files giving errors are the one with CRLF terminators. Most likely, xgi developers edit code on platforms having different file formats. I did a quick scan on other drivers and I have not seen files with CRLF terminators. It's just a theory for now, most likely others have seen this before and know of to fix it. </BODY> </HTML>
