It is winter here, and actually cold so I am playing with my alpha
again. Last week I loaded 3.0 on my LX164 box. It has an ATI Radeon
7000 PCI card installed. I would like to use a graphical interface. I
would like to use X11.
I would like to know, factually, which way I should go - X11R7, or
Xfree86 4.4/4.5.
I realize there are various positions and stories on which is better,
but I want to know which one will work. I assume I will have to build
from source. The pkgsrc file does not seem to point to a prebuilt binary
for alpha, but I have not checked out the binary builds that TIm has
been doing, I will do that next.
Yes, I snagged Mel's code for 4.4. I snagged the sourde for R7.
THanks
bob
