you may not want to be too hasty in removing xorg versions. There are often hardware and driver versions that do not work with "latest and greatest" xorg. In particular some older graphics cards tend to get (proprietary) driver updates quite a lot later than the high priced current products. That does not mean they are not a very suitable (most suitable) choice of hardware. Our desktop and dev machines run older gfx cards precisely for the reason they are lower performance and do not require the power and dBs of a turbo charger cooler. regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Tigervnc-devel mailing list Tigervnc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tigervnc-devel
