- Yes this has a solution, get the latest version of XFree86. The 1.0Ya version
- that people have problems with is an ALPHA release that never should have
- gotten out to the general public. The latest version of X is
- on tsx-11.mit.edu in the pub/linux/packages/X11 directory.
-
- I have heard the 1.0Ya is still the version installed off of SLS, and I
- wish this would change as that version had a lot of bugs.
