This is news to me, although I note, now that you mention it, that there's |
11 |
an xorg-x11 ebuild in Gentoo (blocked by XFree). When I installed Gentoo on |
12 |
my desktop box a year ago or so, I believe that Xfree was recommended. |

14 |
A few questions: |
15 |
|
16 |
What are the advantages of X.org over XFree? |
17 |
|
18 |
If I have XFree successfully installed and running, are there any advantages |
19 |
to switching? |
20 |
|
21 |
Do 3rd party vendors, notably VMWare which I think supplies an optimized |
22 |
XFree driver, support X.org? |
