Late Release Notes for XFree86/OS2 3.2
(last updated: 2 Nov 96)
This page contains latest information that did not make it into
the documentation by the time the version 3.2 was finalized.
- Read the XOS2FAQ.HTM file which comes with this distribution.
This file is HTML code and is best read with a Web reader, e.g. explore
or netscape. It is located in the \XFree86\lib\X11\doc directory.
- XKB works now.
- XF86Setup promised in the README.OS2 file is not available, and maybe
never will. For OS/2, the software installer software from IBM is probably
a more suitable solution.
- If you want to compile the system from scratch, please get the
32+os2
Fix from the xf86bugs page. It contains changes to be applied after release
of the source tree of XFree86-3.2. If you get your source tree from
set.gmd.de (XF86src*.zip), you don't need this fix.
- Reporting bugs:
- There is the official
XFree86/OS2 bugs page which is updated when new bugs are found (maybe even together with
a workaround). Please consult this page before reporting a bug.
- Read the FAQ and ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS that are available before claiming
something is a bug.
- Beta versions like 3.1.2D-G are no longer supported now, once XFree86-3.2
is available. I won't react to bug reports that refer to old code.
- See the FAQ about the information needed to report a problem.
- Commercial users: there is no warranty, nor do you have any title
on getting an immediate fix. Read the file COPYRIGHT for details.
- If you would like to write an article in a newspaper or magazine on this
system, please feel free to do this (but understand: you get what you
have paid for - it is usually considered as bad style to bash on software
which you get for free).
- Building from sources: Read OS2.Notes.
