No probs.  Confirmed that it works with the latest trunk version.

That would be a no (:wink:)

I did a clean checkout, build on a joe bloggs user account and the install as root.  After this the svnversion.h.tmp file was owned by root, so I assume the install process is regenerating the .tmp file for some reason.  More spelunking to be done.

That would be the one, and yes it happily works.

So for OBSD you need to specify the mandir and with-xorg-module-dir and then everything just falls into place.  Nice one, many thanks.
