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 ;-)

  1. 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.

  2. 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).

  3. 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:
