Been awhile since I started to research this. There was some info on
penguinppc.org, but it doesn't appear to have been updated in awhile.
Since I opened this can of worms, guess I'll go fo' broke <g>....
- I understood Hollis' RPMs to be 4.0.1. Is that true? Does it matter?
And just where are Hollis' RPMs anyway?
- How do they compare w/ KFukui's RPMs or Ani's rsync tree?
- Has anyone w/ a Rage Orion successfully installed 4.0.2 (or 4.0.3 or
4.1.0) from xfree86.org?
Just looking for the least painful option. I hate reinventing the wheel.
<g>
Cheers.
Pete

XF4 does work with a Rage Orion - at least on my 9600. This is with
Hollis'
RPMS. My partial upgrade to 2.0 revealed a problem - so either:
- it's a bad idea to mix the YDL 2.0 XF4 rpms with a 1.2.1 system
or
- there is some problem with the YDL 2.0 XF4 rpms and the Rage Orion.
