I completely agree that a diff should have been my proper response.

But in this case I am not sure if the nsc(4) is the current driver for the 
video part of the Geode chipset. After a more thorough look it seems more 
likely that the geode(4) driver was meant, but no man page exists for it 
so far.

As for the html form of the openchrome(4) man page, I am not able to send 
a diff at the moment -- the problem lies somewhere in the process of 
rendering from the source code on the server side. The version of the man 
page in the snapshots is rendered properly by nroff.

Also, for example the glint(4) man page is in the source tree, it is 
included in the snapshots and works right, but man.cgi for i386 reports 
"Sorry, no data found for 'glint'."

Yes, and the problem with tsec(4) man page on the web lies in the fact, 
that the new socppc platform has not yet been included in the Manual Pages 
web interface. The link from 44.html is therefore redirected to the first 
available platform, i.e. alpha.

As the man.cgi is new to me, this report is the only way how I can help at 
the moment. I believe there are people here who are more experienced in 
how this system of man pages rendering works and who will be able to 
resolve it in much less time.

In any case, thanks for the great work.

David
