I've seen some comments on this mailing list (or maybe freebsd-current) to the effect that the binary version of XFree86 was improperly built, and is really built against FreeBSD-current, which is really FreeBSD-3.0-current. I'm about to install FreeBSD for the first time. I have the 2.1.6 CDROM, but I'm planning on ftp'ing the 2.2.1 release, and installing it. Since I have a Matrox Millenium, I'd really like to install the XFree3.2A release. Is this the version that was built incorrectly, or was XFree3.2 that was built against the wrong version? Would I be better off installing 2.1.6 and waiting until the smoke clears for 2.2.1? Should I install XFree 3.2 from scratch from the ports collection (and compile it myself), even though the performance is supposed to be much better for my graphics card in 3.2A? Thanks.
