-
- That must be an error, as the latest beta version of Xfree86 is 1.1C.
-
- The next version will be 1.2, and will have capabilities to do things like
- start X on one VC and switch back to text mode on another VC.
-
- I am building 1.1C now as I write this and will see if the improvements
- help out.
