I had to downgrade my server once I discovered Xfree unceremoniously cut Compaq AVGA support from my server. I've been running 3.1.2 server with 3.2 clients without trouble. The only thing that won't run is xvidtune because it depends on 3.2 extensions or something... Supposedly 3.2 isn't all that different from 3.1, it adds a couple nifty features for the keyboard and weird devices, and generally speeds up current vidcards. At the same time it appears to ignore older vidcards, which may be why performance has decreased, but don't quote me on that :) Will
