Created attachment 24690 [details] [review] fix There is no "-s" flag/switch for xset. The correct flag/switch is simply "s" without the leading dash. This error is in both the xserver 1.5 branch and 1.6 branch. I don't know if this web-form will screw up the patch or not, but I've also attached it as a file.
