- X11R5 monochrome server is more efficiant, faster and less buggy that
- the X11R4 monochrome server. It is also less of a space pig and
- utilizes dynamic librarys alot better.
-
- The font and resource edit changes are nice but I suppose not
- critical. I find X11R5 with tvtwm works ALOT better and in alot
- less memory than X11R4+OL. The mono X11R5 server also handles
- overscan automagically, the R4 server requires you to explain to it
- that it needs overscan... B^(.
