- I have build X11R5pl0 under 5.0 and have been using it for about 4 months.
- The only problem I have had is with the xterm program. Some programs
- will not work with the pseudo tty the xterm uses(su and script core dump).
- (this was expected due to the major tty changeds in 5.0)
- Both of these are easy to work around so it overall has worked very well.
- I haven't checked the patches lately to see if there have been any updates
- to fix the xterm problem.
