Lionel,  we could not suggest posting to links outside of our support page
because they change constantly i.e. people either lose domains or change
domain names
as better ones become available.  The best advice would be to check the
htttp://www.xfree86.org/support.html page and see what documentation lies
there as we try to keep that relatively
current & accurate.
