i think i was hitting the same issue with 2.6.5, reverted all relevant IMO
patches + ruby-2.6.3

once again, thanks, thanks a lot for your work

best,

svetljo

PS.
the prefbusid patch applies and builds cleanly against Xorg X11 release,
i didn't try it with ruby, but i've uploaded it to mandrakeclub
/* although it still not available there */
sadly i think i don't have that much web space to upload it to
karlovo.demon.co.uk

PS.2
now that you've released 2.6.5 i may try to cook up something for mandrake
cooker or club /* which evetually could be included in next mdk release */
