Re: [LUG] XFree vs XOrg?

 


Based on rumour and heresay only - yes - some things need to be
modified to work correctly under X.org. Not much but if it matters
to you you'll probably not like X.org yet.

I may (shortly) give it a shot then.  If XFree/XOrg aren't *that* different 
yet (I'm quite happy with a little tweaking of config files, so long as 
they're documented) they I may give it a go.  I'm taking a 2h "class" for 
some degree students (I'm not sure which course they're on) next week - an 
"overview" of basic Linux concepts and some server stuff - so it might be an 
idea to have tried this "new" X that many distros are using.

Ooh... I know what I forgot to ask: NVidia's non-free drivers.  Are they 
likely to work, d'ya think?

Successfully running Mandrake Cooker with XOrg and Nvidias drivers, XOrg was 
forked from the last version before the licence change so XFree style drivers 
and the same config files are supported.

XOrg just *appeared* one day instead of XFree during a urpmi update.
