Neronix Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I'm not happy with the license change which has forced all the major distros to use 4.3 - this includes Mandrake 10.0. Installing X using the source or the binaries provided is too confusing for an uber n00b like me. If anyone can point me to an rpm or maybe if you have the time to make an rpm then I will be eternally grateful. A big thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylizard Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I would love to find a good rpm source that would allow me to simply and easily install XFree 4.4. The new version solves a huge bug I have with the integrated video and the bios on my laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big thanks in advance If you have an FTP server I can upload the 4.4 rpms to from cooker when it was in there I can do that. Otherwise you have to follow the readme at. http://xfree86.org/4.4.0/Install.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdion81 Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 If you upgrade to 4.4 what do you do if something is not compatible or something goes wrong? (Besides restore) Is there a way to roll back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
