I'd install either the old one or the package, depending on which supported your video card. If the answer is that both support it, then install the old one if you're short memory, otherwise the new one. If you install XFree86 4.whatever, set XFREE86_VERSION=4 in /etc/make.conf before installing any other X ports. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
