XFree86 4 will use XF86Config if no XF86Config-4 file exists. -4 is needed only if you want both XFree86 3.x and 4.x installed simultaneously (so sayeth David Dawes to me in mail within the last week).
I'm not convinced that sane things happen with various X configuration tools, but I'm still puzzling out XFree86 ideosyncracies from Debian ideosyncracies (I'm new to Debian). I'll spare everyone my flame about the config file; I complain directly to XFree86 on that one (and have done so bitterly again in the last week)... I do note, that even having installed loads of Gnome and KDE stuff on woody, that I have no /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig file, and therefore am further from getting my apps running antialiased than I should be.... Is this normal, or am I missing something? - Jim -- Jim Gettys Cambridge Research Laboratory Compaq Computer Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED]
