A couple of questions comes to mind: 1. I'm assuming that Xinside Motif (2.0) works with the XFree86 server, but has anybody tested it? 2. Would there be any gains in speed etc., using the X server from Xinside? My gut feeling is to stay with XFree and support free software, but .. :-) 3. Which version of XFree86 will be bundeled with FreeBSD 2.1.5 ? I hope for some feedback on this as we are going to install Motif on several ( ~10 ) Pentiums with FreeBSD. FreeBSD is finally being accepted as just as good as HP-UX and Solaris as a technical workstation here at the institute :-)) Best regards /* Stein M Sandbech Email: stein@ife.no ** ** Senior Systems Engineer, EDP dept Email: steinms@oslonett.no ** ** Institute for Energy Technology Tel: +47 63 80 60 00 ** ** Box 40, N-2007 Kjeller, NORWAY Fax: +47 63 81 11 68 */
