I recently upgraded to NetBSD 3.0. According to the NetBSD website,
this version of NetBSD uses XFree86 4.5. However, I noticed the
following in my /var/log/xdm.log file (cleared before copying the
following, so this is data from my boot less than an hour ago):
XFree86 Version 3.3.6a / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: November 30 2000
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/FAQ)
Operating System: NetBSD/i386 1.5.2 [ELF] The NetBSD Foundation, Inc.
...
As a sanity check, I used uname to verify that I am running NetBSD 3.0.
I'm curious as to what is going on here.
