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.
