Some have said that 3.3.36 is more stable and secure. That's why it's
packaged with the CD. Personally, I prefer 4 since it runs lighter on
my old laptop. Since I run it behind the firewall, and all the
machines here are trusted, it's not a big concern for me. But that's
my choice. You need to make yours. As someone pointed out recently, if
you run v4, you can add a line in the /etc/make.conf XFREE86_VERSION=4
to satisfy the apps looking for the xf86 installation.

}Hi, All:
}
}I just installed 4.2-stable-20001211 along with Xfree86.
}Which XFree86
}version comes with 4.2-stable? Mine is Xfree86-3.3.6 (it's about two
}years old version and it recognizes the box as FBSD-3.3-Release i386
}(ELF)) and some of packages can't be installed because of dependency
}compatibility. Some of the packages look for X-4.0.x and
}some of them
}look for X-3.3.6_5. How should I resolve this?
