Perhaps X 4 is beta, but X 3 does not work or work poorly on some video cards
which are amongst the best on the market (GeForce). So a shift to 4.01 will
soon to be considered. Do you think people will only buy Matrox G 400 because
it is very well supported by X 3?
To speak for my case, i have received mail that GeForce works with X 3 but my
own works very poorly, if at all. I am obliged to go to 4.01 and install
nVidia drivers under Linux. Corresponding drivers for freebsd are said to be
in preparation.
