If you actually mean "i386" and not just general x86, then XFree86 4 may be a problem. Some older chipsets aren't as well supported in XF86-4 as they were in 3.3.6. Switching from 3.3.6 to 4.x and back shouldn't be too painful, particularly if you use packages. (the dependencies when you use ports can sometimes be nasty, use portupgrade if you do). I would recommend giving it a try. I don't think the cpu/memory requirements for X have changed that much since 3.3. -- Eric Anholt <eta@lclark.edu> http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
