I reformatted your words above -- please use reasonable line lengths (about 72 characters is good). And I moved your words where they belong -- /after/ the quoted material they refer to. If you don't know, don't give wild speculative answers as they just clutter up the list with noise that does nobody any good. In the installation in question, which is a pure XFree86-4.1.0 installation, the tools I mentioned are all provided as part of that installation. They are, therefore, XFree86-4.x tools. _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
