Yes, i was one of several that built & installed XFree86-4.2.0. I was also the one that had the very odd problem where gdm refused to start going into runlevel 5. This was in a RedHat based system, not Caldera, BTW. I haven't yet gotten around to upgrading my Caldera box to 4.2.0 (i did build 4.1.0 on it several months back, and that went swimmingly). The actual build of 4.2.0 was quite easy though, i just followed the SxS. Truth be told, i haven't seen any real performance or feature benefit going from 4.1.0 to 4.2.0 on that 1 box. I will note that i did see a significant improvement going from 3.3.6 to 4.1.0 on my Caldera box and my redhat box. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
