Re: Re: Instant EMC

Something that I've been meaning to ask, and this reminded me:
Is there a problem running the latest version of XFREE86 on Red Hat 5.2?
It seems to me that this would solve a lot of problems. The newest version
of XFREE supports an lot more video cards than the old version distributed
with RH5.2. I've been meaning to check it out, but I'm running RH6.0 on my
good PC, and 5.2/xfree installed just fine on the 100Mhz Compaq I'm
reserving for my shop.
