X11R6.7.0 performs much more satisfactorily with my ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card and Iiyaya Vision Master 1451 monitor than I have been able to persuade XFree86 4.3.0 to do, and what helps greatly is that post installation configuration is simplicity itself.
But with all due respect Anthony, that tells me nothing! Sounds like a marketing droid.
Much more Satisfactorily???!!! Like HOW? What was wrong with Xfree that you don't see in Xorg?
A little specificity man ! ;-)
The specificity was in my posting. I successfully created a perfectly working X server configuration using X.Org X11R6.7.0 in under five minutes (admittedly I didn't include that time figure) on FreeBSD by carrying out the procedure detailed precisely and exactly in my posting. In contrast, I have so far failed to achieve a working XFree86 4.3.0 configuration on the same machine running Debian Testing. My liking for X.Org, as opposed to XFree86 4.3.*, is due to that ease of configuration. I also stated that this is less of an issue with SuSE due to YaST. I have little or no interest in the licensing issues. -- Anthony Edwards anthony.edwards@uk.easynet.net
