The documentation is available on-line. Please read the README and Release Notes first. The distribution is available from our ftp site. or from one of the mirror sites. Source can be downloaded, but is not necessary for installing and using XFree86. Pre-compiled binary distributions are available for most supported platforms. Some of those binaries have been updated since the initial release, and a list of those updates is available. Before downloading and installing the binary distributions, please read the Installation Notes carefully. This will help you download the correct files for your system. If you're looking for a stable version of XFree86, you might be better off with the latest 3.3.x release. There is some basic information comparing the hardware support in 3.3.x with 4.0 in the driver status document. Please check there to get an idea if your hardware is supported in 4.0. It seems to be stable enough, but it still lacks support for many video cards, as it seems.

Re: [newbie] XFree86 v4.0
I've heard good and bad stories. Of those selections you would want Linux-ix86-glibc21. I would download the RPMS from the cooker site though. Most of them are in the contribs directory and the XServer rpm is in the cooker/Mandrake/RPMS directory. That is by far the easiest way to upgrade. There is also no Xconfigurator and I don't beleive the XFDrake will work to configure it either. You have to use xf86config. -- Original Message -- From: wayne petherick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 01 Jun 2000 14:06:32 >I am looking at upgrading to XF86 v4.0 and was wondering a few things. >First of all, is this release stable yet, and second, there are a few >version for Linux iX86 systems. > >Linux-alpha-glibc21/17-Mar-2000 09:55 >Linux-ix86-glibc20/ 17-Mar-2000 23:25 >Linux-ix86-glibc21/ 26-Apr-2000 03:44 >Linux-ix86-libc5/ > >This is pasted from the XF homepage and I was wondering which one I need. >I am running MDK7.0 on an Athlon 550 with the same kernel version that came >with the distro.

The first one will only run on Dec-Alpha processors. I don't know how stable it is.

[newbie] XFree86 v4.0
I am looking at upgrading to XF86 v4.0 and was wondering a few things. First of all, is this release stable yet, and second, there are a few version for Linux iX86 systems. Linux-alpha-glibc21/17-Mar-2000 09:55 Linux-ix86-glibc20/ 17-Mar-2000 23:25 Linux-ix86-glibc21/ 26-Apr-2000 03:44 Linux-ix86-libc5/ This is pasted from the XF homepage and I was wondering which one I need. I am running MDK7.0 on an Athlon 550 with the same kernel version that came with the distro. Any help would be appreciated.
