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 :) Cliff Rowley - while (!asleep) { code(); } To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
