I have ati xpert2000 card - there are some text handling problems w/the "stock" xFree86 installation. So I found and downloaded the following: "X11R6-3.3.6-p3-freebsd.tar.gz A compiled copy of XFree86-3.3.6 with latest fixes (fix-01-r128, fix-02-svr4, fix-03-mmap). FreeBSD-3.4 binary. To accomodate our ATI Rage 128 Xpert 2000 cards. Use "XF86_SVGA" for ATI. This will untar to "X11R6-3.3.6-p3-freebsd/", you'll need to copy some or all to your /usr/X11R6 folder." What do I do to use this new X11R6-3.3.6? Do I rename the existing equivalent file w/a .old then untar this to the correct dir? Someone had mentioned doing something w/symlinks (?) How do I swap out the old file and replace and implement this new - and hopefully improved version? Is a new sysinstall operation needed?
