I beg to differ. I don't doubt that 3.0 has bugs, and I'll be happy to get 3.1 whenever it becomes available; but in the mean time 3.0 works just fine on FreeBSD 1.1R with my plain old ET4000. I haven't had a single crash or any evidence of "instability". This is not a statement from an official XFree86 core team member either, but I recommend that you do build and use R6/3.0 and if you do uncover any bugs that you report them to the XFree86 project and the X Consortium. I don't know what procedures, if any, the XFree86 project has established for reporting bugs, but you should use the file .../xc/bug-report as a template for filing bug-reports with the X Consortium. -- Kaleb KEITHLEY X Consortium
