Hello List
My X is currently:
bash-2.04$ X -version
XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: January 8 2000
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE i386 [ELF]
the OS line is compile-time, uname -a gives:
4.3-RC FreeBSD 4.3-RC #1: Mon Mar 26 21:51:33 BST
I am using a 3dfx card which X runs as a generic voodoo3. Would I notice
any performance improvement if I upgraded? Should I upgrade? Most things
are working fine under X, just some things like pan won't work, it
complains about:
GThread-ERROR **: file gthread-posix.c: line 320
(g_thread_set_priority_posix_impl): error Operation not supported during
pthread_setschedparam (*(pthread_t*)thread, policy, &sched)
aborting...
Abort trap (core dumped)
though it compiles fine. If I do upgrade, am I going to have to reinstall
all components theat use X? If I have to reinstall all components, is
there an easy way to do this?
cheers
