Tell that to my GeForce card - it appears to work just great with 3.3.6 and has for some time now. :) I also don't think that "a shift to 4.01" would be advisable for anyone, no matter what card they have. As others have already eloquently stated, XFree86 4.x is extremely BETA right now and does not even support the full set of cards which 3.3.6 does. It should be considered a developer's release only, and by "developer" I mean "XFree86 developer", e.g. someone suitably skilled in hacking on X servers and capable of assisting the XFree86 project in polishing it up for more general consumption. > To speak for my case, i have received mail that GeForce works with X 3 but my > own works very poorly, if at all. I am obliged to go to 4.01 and install You really should try it for yourself rather than believing the mail you receive since "very poorly" does not describe my own experience at all. 3.3.6 works just fine with all my current graphics cards (Voodoo3, GeForce, G400). - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
