Subject: Looking for X3862.0
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1992 01:16:26 GMT
A friend of mine says something called X386 version 2.0 is the best
version of X to come along so far. It's supposed to be nicely tuned
to run fast on the et4000 chipset (I have a tseng4000 video card).
I've looked at tsx-11 and sunsite but couldn't find it.
Anyone care to give me a clue where I might find it?
Thanks.

I beleive that your friend was refering to Xfree86 version 1.1. The
name change was made to differentiate the comercial product X386 from
the freely available 386 X server Xfree86. Perhaps the X maintainers
can shed some more light.

The change was made to avoid questions like this. There will be a
X386 2.0, which will have few things in common with Xfree86 or
X386 1.3. To make this easy for the people and instead of having
X386 1.3E 2.0 as a name the XFree86 changed the name....
