1. Summary of new features in 3.9.16 compared with 3.9.15.
This section contains a brief summary of what has changed since the
previous snapshot. Unfortunately, only a small number of changes are
listed here. For detailed information, refer to the CHANGELOG
file in the xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86
directory in the
source tree. The sections that follow this one have details of features
that are new to the pre-4.0 snapshot series.
- The "apm" driver has been updated.
See the
APM section below.
- A driver for NVIDIA chipsets is now included. The driver is called
"nv". Some very basic information can be found in the nv(4) man
page.
- The default xdm config file now has a line to disable listening for
XDMCP requests. This is fine when xdm is only managing a local
X server. The line must be commented out when xdm is used to manage
external X servers (e.g., X terminals).
- New driver for Intel i740. The driver is called "i740".
- New driver for 3Dfx Banshee and Voodoo 3. The driver is called "tdfx".
- Some work on adding WYSIWYG capabilities to the Xaw text widget.
- Some preliminary support for programming modes has been added to xedit.
