My interest in a later version of XFree86 is that in trying to install
FreeBSD-Current on my Dell Insperion 4000e Laptop, the ATI Rage 128 3D
graphics accelerator used is not supported at all under XFree86 3.3.6.
So I am forced to upgrade to a later version of XFree86 to get 'X' to
work at all....
Can someone outline the easiest way to do that given how things are
in the FreeBSD-4.3 Release??
Thanks in Advance,
Glenn G.
