I greatly respect Amancio Hastys work on XS3, but I'm wondering if XS3
is the way to go right now. It seems there are, shall we say, frictions
between Amancio and the XFree team. I haven't actually tried XS3
with XFree 1.2, but as near as I can figure, if there is a problem
neither side seems inclined to support this configuration. I have
heard that someone (the XS3 team? (Amancio is not a member?)) is
adding XS3 or its equivalent into a future release of XFree. I
probably have some major details wrong here, but I think that I'm
not the only one - can someone 'official' comment?
