Re: where is old (3.2) Xfree86?



Jim,

The TP 365xd had two different display types.  If you got the TFT, you can use
the latest xfree builds.  If you have the DSTN, nothing after 3.2 works.  At
least this is what I've read on a couple of Thinkpad web sites.  I tried using
3.3.6 from Potato and no dice.
