I will get reports from people saying "it does not work for me" and reports from people saying "at least I can use my new video board!". Do you want to run a poll on every new release? The solution is simple: keep a backup of your last running version, try a new one and if it does not work reinstall your backup and make a report to xfree86 (see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/BugReport). > Your argument is the same as saying, -current is -current, so > it can break at any time. True, but we still want to give it a > reasonable amount of testing, no? I think 4.0.2 solved a lot of problems for people using 4.0.1 and it is not a step backwards. And it was tested by XFree86 developpers - they make their best to release a good product.
