- Try XS3-02a you will like it. XS3 is not XFree86 and
- XS3-02a passes all x11perf tests. Some of the x11perf
- test's floating operations does make XS3-0.1 and XFree86
- crash. Another problem found in XFree86 and not on XS3
- is the border color splashing on the windown when using
- xv.
-
- The moral of the story here is that if XFree86 has a
- problem or XS3 you can not immediatly conclude that
- the other server has the same problem.
