I use it on my iBook, and it doesn't seem that bad. I have two X-related
gripes with it:
(1) When I hit the Caps Lock key, the X server dies about a second later.
Consistently, every time. I haven't tried to debug why yet, and I
haven't tried installing the latest XFree; I don't use Caps Lock much.
(2) If I set the X resource
xterm*eightBitInput: false
in my .Xdefaults file, then when I launch an xterm, it dies with an
error whose details elude me for the moment. If I set
xterm*eightBitInput: true
via 'xrdb -merge', it works fine; I can toggle the working and
non-working behavior back and forth by xrdb-ing in the appropriate
value. As with the first problem, I suspect that the latest XFree might
help, and I haven't tried it yet.
What sorts of problems were you seeing? Does the X server die at particular
times, or apparently at random? And does the system always halt when X dies,
or at other times?
