regarding XFree86 and 4.8-RELEASE

[Riccardo.Veraldi at fi.infn.it]

Hello,
on my XP1000 I could not make the default XFree86-4.3.0 work on
FreeBSD-4.8-RELEASE.
Either the one prepackaged or recompiling from ports it does not work.
The behaviour is XFree86 keeping 100% CPU and nothing happens, nothing
written in the log files.
I fiexed the problem installing XFree86-4.2.0 but I had to borrow it from
FreeBSD-4.7-RELEASE becuse there is no XFree86-4.2.0 on
FreeBSD-4.8-RELEASE, either I found no way to compile XFree86-4.2.0 from
ports since XFree86-4.3.0 is shipped in ports for FreeBSD-4.8-RELEASE.
This is just my experience. Anyone running XFree86 on XP1000 could
confirm it??
As well XFree86-4.3.0 does not work on my XP1000 trying with
FreeBSD-5.0-RELEASE so it looks like a XFree86 issue an not a RELEASE
related issue.
thanks very much

Rick
