I use SuSE 9.1 with the default XFree86 that comes with the distro (4.4.0-rc1 I THINK). I want to change to xorg 6.8.1. Is it safe? will sax2 generate a config file that will work? What packages are needed? Should I uninstall xf86 first or install it while X is running? Thanks! ===========
Steven, I can only speak for myself, but update the files the same as you would any files on your SuSE rpm system. You'll find that these exactly replace the old XFree86 stuff and work quite well. I'm pretty sure most everyone that have gone to the x.org files did the same thing. Of course, 9.2 comes standard with x.org. Once installed while booted into KDE or Gnome or whatever, you will want to restart the X server to put everything into motion. Have fun! Lee
