1 The latest xfree revision is in portage, hard-masked.
2
3 It's in need of testers because of some significant changes in install
4 locations, among other things.
5
6 To test it, add =x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6 to /etc/portage/package.unmask.
7 If you don't know how, don't test it. =)

14 FEATURES:
15
16 ***Fonts now install to /usr/share/fonts. This will require changes in
17 configuration files;***
18
19 Docs and man pages install to /usr/share/{doc,man};
20 Works with media-video/ati-gatos, x11-misc/linuxwacom and
21 x11-misc/synaptics with the 'sdk' USE flag;
22 Hardened patches added, new 'pie' USE flag;
23 Autodetects SSE/MMX/3DNOW (this is the default build);
24 FILESDIR stuff moved to tarball so we can get rid of files/4.3.0/ once
25 4.3.0-r5 is gone;
26 Prettier fonts by default: PDEPEND on media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera,
27 it was added to newer upstream sources.
