- <p>
-The <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86-base</tt> package contains all
-of XFree86 4.2.1.1 (4.2.0 for 10.1 users) except the XDarwin server.
-The <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86-rootless</tt> package is the
server from the standard,
-stable XFree86 4.2.1.1 release. It supports both full-screen and rootless
-operation, and has OpenGL support.
-(In the early days, Fink also had an <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">xfree86-server</tt> package
-which only provided fullscreen mode, but this is no longer a relevant
-option.)
-You also have the option to
-install the server yourself; see below. In this case, you should
-only install <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86-base</tt>, or you'll
risk that Fink
-overwrites your manually installed server. Note that the current stable
version of<tt style="white-space: nowrap;"> xfree86-base</tt> (4.2.1.1-3)
generates the <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86-rootless</tt>, <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86-base-shlibs</tt>, and <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86-rootless-shlibs</tt> during its build
process. In this case, all four packages must be installed for you to have a
working XFree86 setup.
+<p><b>General notes:</b></p>
+<ul><li>All of the X11 packages currently available via Fink support both
full-screen and rootless
+operation, and have OpenGL support.</li>
+<li><b>Important note:</b> Files get moved around between X11 releases. This
frequently means that if you try to downgrade your X11 installation, you will
find that binaries (executable programs, etc.) won't work anymore. You'd have
to rebuild any such packages.
+<p>You can go the other way though: packages built vs an older X11 generally
work on a later one.</p>
+<p>For 10.3, the X11 hierarchy is as follows:</p>
+<pre>xorg > xfree86 > Apple's X11 </pre>
+</li></ul>
+<p><b>10.3 users:</b></p>
+<p>You can install version 4.3.99.16-2 (that which is in the current binary
distribution) or 4.4 (which is available from source). You will need both the
<tt style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86</tt> and <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">xfree86-shlibs</tt> packages to have a fully functional
installation.</p>
+<p>You can also install the X.org X11 release (currently version 6.8) via the
<tt style="white-space: nowrap;">xorg</tt> and <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">xorg-shlibs</tt> packages in the unstable tree. This X11 flavor is
similar to XFree86-4.4, but includes some bugfixes and new features, and
removes some code with a disputed license.</p>
+
+<p><b>10.2 users:</b></p>
+<p>10.2 users may install version 4.3 via source or binary, and 4.4 from the
unstable tree. As above, you'll install <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">xfree86</tt> and <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86-shlibs</tt>.
</p>
- <p>The<tt style="white-space: nowrap;"> xfree86-base-threaded</tt> and
<tt style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86-rootless-threaded</tt> packages are
essentially the same thing, but have been modified to support threading, which
is required by a few applications, such as <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">xine</tt>.</p>
- <p>XFree86 4.2.11 (unthreaded) is considered to be the stable, baseline
XFree86 version to use with Fink on 10.2. XFree86 4.3.0 is also available, but
is considered to be more experimental, and as of this writing is only available
in the unstable tree. It has threading support built in, and is faster than
4.2.1.1 . To install this version, you should install the <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86</tt> package. Note that for this version,
there are no longer separate -base and -rootless packages, although the
libraries are splitoff into <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">xfree86-shlibs</tt>. If you build binaries against 4.3, they may not
work on 4.2.1.1 or Apple X11, so be warned.</p>
- <p>
- <b>10.3 users:</b> You will need to install version 4.3.99.16-2 or
later, which are prereleases for XFree86-4.4. If you are working from the
binary distribution, make sure to update your package descriptions (e.g. via
<tt style="white-space: nowrap;">sudo apt-get update</tt>).</p>
+
+ <p>XFree86 4.2.1.1 is also available for 10.2, in <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">normal</tt> and <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">-threaded</tt> flavors (later X11s all have threading support), though
it is considered to be obsolete. The <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">xfree86-base</tt>, <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">xfree86-base-shlibs</tt>, <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">xfree86-shlibs</tt>, and <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">xfree86-rootless-shlibs</tt> packages (or their <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">-threaded</tt> counterparts must all be installed
for you to have a working XFree86 setup. In addition, you may need to install
the <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86-base-dev</tt> and <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">xfree86-rootless-dev</tt> packages (or their <tt
