Sorry but RH 7.x and I believe a couple of other distributions install both 3.3.6 and 4.x.x They set the one or the other active depending on whether the video adapter is accelerated or not in 4.x.x I agree with you that this confuses many people as you can see in this list with them mentioning XF86_SVGA and X 4.x in the same sentence. However, it does allow one to fine tune on older equipment (in my case, for instance, I kept 3.3.6 on an old laptop because the card was not accelerated in 4.1, I can tell you that with kde it made a lot of difference in the response time... In my newer desktop I do run 4.1, having the same distro on both does simplify matters) Lionel
