Re: Redhat 7.0 - XFree 4.0

[Jeff Lane <jlane redhat com>]

4.0.1 is installed...  you just arent running it.  I dont know about hte
upgrades, as I usually just do a fresh install when going from major
version to major version, but when doing a fresh install at least, 4.0.1
is installed, as well as 3.3.6.  The installer decides if you can run
4.0.1 or are better running 3.3.6, and configures accordingly.  You can
set it to run by running Xconfigurator with the switch --preferXf4 to
make it run X 4.0.1.  

keep in mind tho that you may not see any difference depending on the
type of video card you are running.
