Hi, Aaron
I copied over a stock standard Birmingham set-up built on
Debian Stable.
I see now that there is a linux-dev-7.1 for FreeBSD that has
gcc, binutils and XFree86-dev. It will be interesting to try and build
poplog in /compat/linux/usr/local.

I ran the sheepdog demo like you said and it worked well even with Motif.
There is still a problem with exiting Poplog but I am starting to
suspect the Gnome 2.4 virtual file system, I had similar problems on
Debian Unstable which also has Gnome 2.4.

It is the v15.53d version from just 2 days ago.
All the best,
