Unfortunately, no. After i reboot the file is empty. The file gets wiped 
out by the fsck on the next boot i suspect, since fsck says something 
about removing some unrefenrenced blocks? I tried mounting the 
file-system with the 'sync' option too, to no effect, except for 
everything being a lot slower. :(

BTW, It is indeed XFree86, XdecNetBSD is only for TGA cards.

Eike.
