I run Xaccel 1.2B5 on FreeBSD 2.0.5 since I installed 2.0.5. Never
bothered to install XFree apart from the necessary stuff. :-)
And Xaccel works like a charm. And _fast_!
Before that I ran it on 2.0 ... never had any crash. And even before
that I ran 1.2B1 on BSD/OS 2.0 ... worked great too. I switched from
BSD/OS to FreeBSD because of the totally screwed shared lib concept of
BSD/OS 2.0. That - and a number of other points are the reason that
Xaccel for BSD/OS _won't_ run on a FreeBSD machine.
And BTW: On all three platforms I ran Motif 2.0 :-) It isn't supported
by Xinside yet afaik, but I think they ship it with the server as soon
as 1.2 comes out. Works wonderful (need I say that? :-)

Hmm ... Dunno. I got all the binaries directly from Thomas Roell, the
developer. Had to invite him to a few pizzas though. Hey Thomas, do you
read me? I think it's your turn now! :-)
