That just means that Ken compiled his server with a newer version of libc
than you are currently using (he was probably running -current at the
time). It's just a warning, tho, and it shouldn't be causing any kind of
problems like that ones you're seeing. My guess would be that's b/c we
don't fully support your card in color mode at the moment...
Later.
