This ISN'T what you want
by fallibledragon - Apr 11th 2004 12:49:23
Guys, this is no longer the standard X. In
fact, I'm not even sure this entry is correct -- I
don't think the license for this XFree86 is OSI
approved these days.
The X11 project, at
http://freshmeat.net/projects/x11/ is the new
one that distros like Mandrake, Gentoom
Debian, and OpenBSD will be including soon.
Get it instead, if your intention is to be
'ahead' rather than 'different' :)

Can someone add a "X11 for MacOS X" branch ?
by MUFTI - Feb 14th 2003 07:07:26
It would be handy to have a "X11 for MacOS X" branch at freshmeat
for "manage dependencies"
of X11 based MacOSX projects (cause X11 is not
part of the default MacOSX system).

"Apple announces XFree86-based X11 for MacOS X"
on www.xfree86.org.

v4.0 Stable release??
by ShecoDu - Mar 29th 2000 22:31:35
I thought it was going to be a lot better, but it just doesnt like my
Cirrus Logic GD5446, I havent been able to adjust the refresh rates to set
up a 1024x768x16bpp screen, the web page says the card is supported but
xf86config says it isnt, it was pretty easy to set up this card with 3.3.6,
what happened here? stable? hmmmm...

by kreucher - Mar 15th 2000 02:20:31
i just updated to 4.0 (binary release from ftp.xfree.org) and i must say i
am impressed. it's much faster for my card and i really like the silk
cursor! have not tested the GL stuff yet, but i like the new ver so far...

Great...Good...Wonderful...now what about RPMS?
by k0jack - Mar 13th 2000 14:33:57
This is all good and great, but what about the RPMS? Does anyone know of
anyplace a person could get the RPMS? I looked all over the net and came up
with nothing.

If you're not ready to upgrade, but want full ATI Rage 128 Support...
by mark@node.to - Mar 10th 2000 00:17:37
If you don't want to download all of 4.0 for full ATI Rage 128 support, I
have posted the binaries for 3.3.6 with the latest patches compiled for
FreeBSD 3.4. It seems that XFree86.org has posted the these patches in
source, but their binary package still contains the unpatched servers. Get
the 3.3.6-p3 (3.3.6 plus fix-01-r128, fix-02-svr4, fix-03-mmap) full package or just the server
binaries.

Anyone have any suggestions?
by FunkyTrousers - Feb 24th 2000 17:28:38
I know multihead with multiple matrox cards is supported (well, in fact),
but what about with my G400/MAX? I've been trying to get it set up, and I
can't get the second head up. Also, I can't find the docs for getting the
glide driver running (I have a Voodoo2 also).
Any suggestions?

What about ix86-linux-libc5?
by ZlatkO - Jan 21st 2000 21:57:33
Is it just me, or did they really drop libc5 support?

Getting there, some stuff doesn't seem to work yet
by Homme R. Bitter - Jan 7th 2000 05:22:16
Well, I got 3.9.17 compiled after hacking out the DOCSDIR
references, not what you'd expect after waiting this long.
Loads of openGL stuff isn't working and needs hacking.
I managed to get some of the xscreensaver openGL demo's compiled
but most of them need glu stuff that I can't find implemented yet.
Performance on a TNT2 isn't what I'd expect of it yet, but it's a new
card, so optimalisation may take some time.
