This document describes how to obtain, install and configure
XFree86[TM] for
Linux systems. XFree86 version 2 is an enhanced version of the X
Window System version 11 release 5 with support for many versions of
UN*X running on
Intel[TM] 386/486/Pentium[TM] platforms, including Linux. It supports a great
amount of video hardware for these systems and includes many bugfixes
beyond the MIT standard release of X.
It is intended to help Linux users install and configure
XFree86. It covers all versions of XFree86 starting from version 2.0.
It is furthermore intended to answer some basic questions about X and programs using X.
Please read this file and the referenced documentation files BEFORE
installing and starting XFree86. IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL, YOU MIGHT DAMAGE
YOUR HARDWARE.
If you have access to a printer capable of printing DVI or
PostScript[TM] documents, you should consider to get those versions of
this HOWTO as these provide far more readability by better formatting.
A WWW version of this file and many other HOWTOs can be found in
the
Linux Documentation Project
homepage.
