Subject: XFree 4.2.0 debs
X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.0.3
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=5.0 tests= version=2.11
look at http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~spotter/x/
if people could mirror it, it be nice :)
remember, these are quick and dirty debs. They are not production
quality at all, I've been using them on my Thinkpad T21 w/o much issue,
but don't yell if they break on you. I believe you should be able to
downgrade to 4.1.0-16 but I haven't tested that (except the xlibs stuff)
I recommend you use Branden's xlibs, as there seems to be a locale
problem with these xlibs that causes acroread to crash, applications to
print out warnings each time (at least in gnome) and Evolution to have
font issues.
I downgraded (i.e. dpkg -i xlibs_*.deb xlibs-dev_*.deb) to the the
4.1.0-16 debs and everything seems to work fine.
XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 18 January 2002
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)
In building these I realize how much work Branden has put into them.
People should give him a break. :) kudos for the great job he has
done!.
