Same here... happily running XFree86 4 since way-back around 3.9.16 :-) with multiple monitors. First with multiple Matrox Millenium II cards, then since the `Linux' driver was released by Matrox I've been using the G400 Dual-Head. Oh, also on my laptop (Neomagic) -- both using Type 1 and TrueType font support that is built-in. Also I'm using OpenGL + the Mesa port quite happily, though I haven't tried the tdfx stuff with my Voodoo2 card yet. I've not found XFree86 4 any more buggy than any other X server. Modulo setuid paranoia and possible card support, there seems to be no reason to use XFree86 3. -- Jacques Vidrine / n@nectar.com / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
