Hi,
X.org 6.8.2 was released a couple of days ago. There are also binary rpms available in supplementary for Suse 9.2. Unfortunatley, there were no rpms released for 9.1. So, I downloaded the source rpms and built rpms for 9.1 for all x.org packages. I wrote a mini-how-to below about how to do so, which I am hopeful will be of use to someone like me (who does not have much experience creating rpms).
I have installed the 6.8.2 rpms on my suse 9.1 and everything seems to work well so far. There are no major features but I can definitely say that the desktop "feels" a little snappier.
Sounds great but do you think 256mb is enough memory to run that on a PII? Can you switch between X-ORG and normal for testing? I would try your rpms as long as I knew how to go back in case there is a problem. I only have dialup here so sending them would be a problem on my side. The local library has broadband but its XP so they try to play rpm files as movies but if they were put into a zip, Windows would be fooled and finally they allow flash drives. -- +-----------------<<<<<<<CWSIV>>>>>>>----------------+ | | | | \ /|\ || |\ / |~~\ /~~\ /~~| //~~\ | | | \ / | \ || | X |__/| || |( `--. | | |__ | | \| \_/ / \ | \ \__/ \__| \\__/ | | | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
