Re: X 3.3.5 still Broken

The X rpms in the updates directory at ftp.linuxppc.org were a bad move. I had
reported that the first a set of test rpms wouldnt work in 16bit on RageII
chips like in the beige G3 computers. The problem is worse in the set that was
put into the updates directory. Now 16 and 24 will not work and 256 causes
netscape to have the old 24bit bug where all the widgets lose their coloring.

I noticed in the debian mailing list that there were some patches being
floated around, maybe 3.3.5 needs to be recompiled with these?

What version 3.3.5 is this specifically? XFree86 3.3.5-1.6.0c? The initial
updated XFree86 rpms were 3.3.5-1.6.0a, which have since been replaced.

Also, what "updates" directory are you referring to? There are no XFree RPMS
at ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc-1999/updates/
