XFree 4 runs great on my iMac (running woody). I used precompiled binaries from Michael Da:nzer: http://n.ethz.ch/student/daenzerm/download/XFree86/ Just unpack the server (-srv) tarball in your root directory (after creating a backup of your XF86Config). It will coexist just fine with the 3.3.6 packages in woody -- no need to uninstall anything or to install the 4.0 libraries. These binaries don't have the very latest patches applied, but they will work fine with most hardware. > (any, just curious, how is it that powerpcs can use xfree86 at all?) XFree86 has been cross-platform for some time now.
