(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 -- John - jfm@i-zone.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
