FreeBSD 2.1.5 ships with the same XFree86 3.1.2 as FreeBSD 2.1 did. There's no newer official release from XFree86. However, there are betas available to the public, and XFree86 3.2 is scheduled for October. The CL-GD 5446 is mentioned in the 3.1.2G server. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
