So a shift to 4.01 will soon to be considered. Do you think people will only buy Matrox G 400 because it is very well supported by X 3? To speak for my case, i have received mail that GeForce works with X 3 but my own works very poorly, if at all. I am obliged to go to 4.01 and install nVidia drivers under Linux. Corresponding drivers for freebsd are said to be in preparation. -- Michel Talon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
