Speaking of XFree 4.3.0, something seriously broke between the
build I did on 19 June 2003 and 12 August 2003 :

XFree86 Version 4.3.0
Release Date: 27 February 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: NetBSD/i386 1.6U [ELF] The NetBSD Foundation, Inc.
Build Date: 19 June 2003

XFree86 Version 4.3.0
Release Date: 27 February 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: NetBSD/i386 1.6W [ELF] The NetBSD Foundation, Inc.
Build Date: 12 August 2003

I've installed the 12 August 2003 build on two machines (luckily
no more) and still have the 19 June 2003 build on 5 others. The
latest build is fairly unstable with ati video cards. It's similar
to the problem I had with 4.2.1 and ati cards that the 19 June 2003
build fixed.

Anyone else seen this?
