FreeBSD 4.4 and XFree 3.3.6

FreeBSD 4.4 and XFree 3.3.6

Post by Snowdo » Thu, 08 Nov 2001 16:59:41



I would like to install XFree 3.3.6 on my FreeBSD 4.4, instead of 4.1,
because it drives to a lot of problems with my old STB Nitro 3D old
video card (Pentium 200 MMX with 64 mb RAM): exiting from XFree 4 screws
up the screen, no reset or other workaround can solve this. I have the
same problem under Linux, even recompiling X from sources.

Where can I download XFree 3.3.6 packages for FreeBSD 4.X? On Xfree ftp
site packages are only for 2.X and 3.X...
I know that the alternative is to recompile from sources...

Look through ftp.freebsd.org It's probably under one of the packages
directories.  You could also use sysinstall as it presumably knows where
a copy is located.  Happy BSDing

Thanks a lot!
I've found 3.3.6 packages at
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.4-RELEASE/XF86336/
that now I am mirroring at office with ADSL to master it on a CD and
bring it home :-)
