XFree86 3.9.15: an adventure



Yesterday I was mumbling about the new X snapshot.

I compiled it (in not too much time), installed it an ran it. It's
definitely alpha software. :) It has a cool featureset and a streamlined
architecture (dynamically loadable modules, drivers are modules (no
multiple binaries), and of course TrueType fonts).

I'm not going to put the bins on my FTP site, because they're about as big
as a source download anyway, and I compiled the source in less than an
hour on my K6 200, trouble-free. So, no point.
