Not for people using hardware made in the last few years - the driver support in X11R6.6 is several years old. For instance, the XFree86 based components in that release were based on XFree86 3.3. The new X11R6.7.0 release that was issued just hours ago by X.Org is a much more usable replacement, having updated the XFree86-based components to XFree86 4.4RC2, and is already in the current Fedora beta and is being considered by some other distros. (Other distros of course are just going with XFree86 4.4.0 directly, as I'm sure Georgina will be happy to point out and give a full list of.) -- -Alan Coopersmith- [email protected] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
