I will look at it.  I thought it must have libc5 dependency but it sounds 
like it is a script.

Okay, in the morning (or I can modify XF86Config and use xsvga, which 
would also keep Xvesa from crashing on exit with the tseng cards - I found 
the instructions online for adding font paths there).

Why doesn't BL3 need xset?  When I type abiword I get a message about not 
having xset and then it works anyway.  There is no XF86Config, so Steven 
must have done something clever about the font path but I can't figure it 
out.
