[Form message follows. Please take this to the xfree86 mailing list,
which would be the most adapted for these questions. - Sven]

Hello,

First, this mailing list is not the right place for asking such
questions, the [email protected] is a place for discussion of the future
of XFree86, both on the political and techological levels. The correct
place for such a question would be the Xfree86 support mailing list :
[email protected] or even better yet your distribution vendor XFree86
support mailing list.

I hope that you will find adequate response on those lists, but since
you did write to the [email protected] mailing list, i hope you can find
the time to participate in an ongoing inquiry whose aim is to help
better the xfree86 web pages and such to better guide our users to the
correct ressources.

As such, i would like to know from you where you found the
[email protected] mailing list, what decided you this was the right
mailing list to ask these questions, and if you have any idea or critic
for us to better the web pages.

Thanks for your help,

Sven Luther
