I've been using it since the release of 3.9.1.7, and I've really enjoyed
using it. It's somewhat faster than 3.x, but that may just be because my
video card has better drivers this time around.
The release notes detail how XFree86 has become easier and easier to build
and install, and it's true. I've always scared away from editing the 3.x
config by hand - the config file format is well organised this time. As I
mentioned in a previous mail in this chain, compilation and installation
was a total breeze. Adding a single line to site.def, making
World/Install and that was that - it took a while, but it was plain
sailing.
Usage wise it's fast, it's smooth and it's been completely
reliable. Aside from a few teething problems with -current (which is to
be expected). If you're waiting for it's official release, you will be
pleasantly suprised :)
