Really? I've been running 4.2 for a few days already... <snipped a buch of stuff> > so, anyway, to the extent that one anecdote is evidence, the xfree > code in the head branch of their cvs server right now is highly > recommended, and a piece of cake. Errmm... not really a piece of cake :( I installed CVSup lastnight 'cuz the cvs commands listed on the xfree86 site refused to work here for me. CVSup worked well, brought down everything I was looking for - but it won't build in it's current condition. By that I mean the "Makefile" looks like "Makefile,v" (all filesnames appear to have the ',v' at the end) and I can't seem to figure out wtf to do to get it to build. So far I've tried "make -f Makefile". "make -f Makefile,v" and "autogen.sh" and I've (very quickly) run out of ideers. Help anyone?
