Update to XFree86-3.3.3
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Versions up to (including) 5.3
XFree86: Version 3.3.3
Request
You have a S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 installation running. You desire to upgrade
your X Window System to XFree86-3.3.3, but you're unsure about
which packages to download from our ftp server.
Procedure
All the packages mentioned below (included the most recent version of
sax.rpm
) are located on our ftp server (and
its mirrors) in the directory:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/XFree86-3.3.3-SuSE.
The details depend on your precise purpose ;-)
- You have a running S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 system and want to
update "just for fun":
Then you need the packages xf86.rpm
and the
appropriate new X Server for your graphics hardware, e.g.
xsvga.rpm
.
- You have a running S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 system and need
to upgrade in order to get your new graphics card working:
Then you need the packages xf86.rpm
and the
appropriate new X Server for your graphics hardware, e.g.
xsvga.rpm
. In addition, you need xfsetup.rpm
or sax.rpm
, respectively (as soon as updated
versions for these packages become available).
- You have a running S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 system and, being an
experienced user, wish to build/compile your X server on your own:
Then all the packages are needed except for the X Servers
not meant for your graphics card. Probably, you won't need either
the japanese documentation contained in
xdoc.rpm
;-)
Further information, e.g. about which X Server is needed for your
graphics card, can be found on our web server:
