[newbie] X 4.0 and Mandrake 7.1
I am about to do an X upgrade from 3.3.6-14 to 4.01-2 and was wondering if anyone has pulled it off yet. The upgrade directions from XFree86.org only discuss upgrading from binaries, I would like to do it by rpm. I haven't seen any video card server/drivers listed for any specific cards. Should I use the servers from 3.3.6? I have an S3 Trio3D and XFree86.org says that it is supported in 4.0, but don't tell which one to use. If I do it by RPM, do I still have to move all the diectories from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 over to /etc/X11? Or will the rpm installer automatically do it for me? Any other pointers appreciated, Victor

I'm using 7.1 (current) as of this week. I should have included that, I was in a hurry. Suggest away, please, Victor Altoine Barker wrote: Yo, What distro are you using?
