                        README for XFree86[tm] 4.3.0

                          The XFree86 Project, Inc

                              26 February 2003

                                  Abstract

     XFree86 is an Open Source version of the X Window System that sup-
     ports many UNIX(R) and UNIX-like operating systems (such as Linux,
     FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris x86) on Intel and other plat-
     forms.  This version is compatible with X11R6.6.

1.  What is XFree86 4.3.0?

XFree86 4.3.0 is the sixth full release in the XFree86 4.x series.

XFree86 4.x is the current XFree86 release series.  The first release in this
series was in early 2000.  The core of XFree86 4.x is a modular X server.
The 4.3.0 version is a new release that includes additional hardware support,
functional enhancements and bug fixes.  Specific release enhancements can be
viewed in the Release Notes.

Most modern PC video hardware is supported in XFree86 4.3.0, and most PC
video hardware that isn't supported explicitly can be used with the "vesa"
driver.  The Driver Status document has a summary of what hardware is sup-
ported in 4.3.0 compared with the old 3.3.x (3.3.6) series.  It is a good
idea to check there before upgrading if you are currently running 3.3.6 with
older hardware.

XFree86 is produced by The XFree86 Project, Inc, which is a group of mostly
volunteer independent developers.  XFree86 is a non-commercial organisation,
and would not be viable without the invaluable development contributions of
volunteers.  This release is dedicated to all who have supported and con-
tributed to XFree86 over the last eleven years.

tory this is the list that will show you those updates.  This list is updated
dynamically every time the repository is updated after the the commit hap-
pens.

3.2  Devel

This list is available for discussions about XFree86 development and for fol-
lowing up well-defined bug reports.  Many experienced XFree86 developers are
present on this list.

submit them to <fixes@XFree86.org>.  This will ensure that they are included
in future releases.  For new work, it's usually a good idea to discuss it
first on the <devel@XFree86.org> list.

5.  How to get XFree86 4.3.0

XFree86 4.3.0 can be found at the XFree86 ftp server
<URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/>, and at mirrors of this
server.  Information about obtaining and installing binary distributions of
this release can be found in the Installation Document.  Information about
obtaining the release in source form is given below.

The source for version 4.3.0 is split into seven tarballs: X430src-1.tgz,
X430src-2.tgz, X430src-3.tgz, X430src-4.tgz, X430src-5.tgz, X430src-6.tgz and
X430src-7.tgz.  The first three contain everything except the fonts and gen-
eral X11 documentation.  Those three are sufficient for building XFree86 if
you already have a set of fonts.  The fourth and fifth contain the fonts.
The sixth contains the source for the general X11 documentation.  The seventh
contains the general X11 documentation in hardcopy format.

A source patch relative to version 4.2.0 is also available.  Because of its
size, it is split into four parts.  The patch files are 4.2.0-4.3.0.diff1.gz,
4.2.0-4.3.0.diff2.gz, 4.2.0-4.3.0.diff3.gz and 4.2.0-4.3.0.diff4.gz.  There
is also a tarball that contains some files that have components that can't be
included in a diff.  It is 4.3.0.tgz.  These patches should be applied to a
clean 4.2.0 source tree, working from the directory containing the xc/ direc-
tory.  The patches should be applied by running:

     gzip -d < 4.2.0-4.3.0.diff1.gz | patch -p0 -E
     gzip -d < 4.2.0-4.3.0.diff2.gz | patch -p0 -E
     gzip -d < 4.2.0-4.3.0.diff3.gz | patch -p0 -E
     gzip -d < 4.2.0-4.3.0.diff4.gz | patch -p0 -E

6.  Reporting Bugs

Bugs should be reported to <XFree86@XFree86.org>.  Before reporting bugs,
please check the XFree86 server log file, which can be found at
/var/log/XFree86.0.log on most platforms.  If you can't resolve the problem
yourself, send the entire log file with your bug report but not the operating
system core dump.  Do not edit  the log file as our developers use it to
reproduce and debug your problem.
