It does not : require you to start fresh (and AFAIK, Xfree never has). Just make sure that you save all the files from the 3.2.x release that you've touched. I got bit with one of my Xterminals because I didn't save the xdm config files that were overwritten when I upgraded to 3.3. I did it via making the sources (via the ports mechanism), so the binaries might be different. I'd also save XF86Config out of paranoia. I've hand tweaked mine over the years to work on my old Solbourne (and 66MHz Sun) monitors, which isn't an install option in their cool install program, AFAICT. Warner
