You must explicitly say if you want Xfree86. See below. Also, you are talking about two intentionally separate directives. The one that asks XFREE86_VERSION was put in place when Xfree86-4 came onto the scene and some people may have still preferred version 4 over version 3. The X_WINDOW_SYSTEM directive lets you choose between Xorg and Xfree86. -Walter Venable _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
