I'm not really interested in the licensing issue, which seems pretty esoteric to me. [I read Stallman's email/article but it didn't leave me much wiser.] However, in my experience Xorg is significantly inferior to XFree86. There seems to be very little documentation, and the display config tools don't work properly under FC-2, again in my experience. I've usually had some problems upgrading RH systems on my Sony C1VFK Picturebook, but I've usually found a helpful explanation somewhere. This time - upgrading from FC-1 to FC-2 - I found nothing better than playing more or less at random with xorg.conf . I really don't know why the settings I finished up with work. Sadly, I'd give Xorg beta-minus. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
