Make sure there is support for your card before abandoning 3.3.6. I decided to RTFM before grabbing the 4.0 binaries only to find out that most of the legacy stuff.. S3 and so on hasn't been ported yet. It's a day to day thing, so the update said, but driver support is still pretty spartan and in favor of the newer 3D cards. -Richard --- Kris Kennaway wrote: > On Mon, 3 Jul 2000, Maxime Henrion wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I just wanted to install the Xfree86-4 port on my -STABLE system but > > can i just do make , make install as i'm already running XFree86 3.3.6 ? > > IMO, i should delete the old XFree before, but it's not a port.
