1. XFree86? |
|
|
Is there anything being with or to XFree86? There seems to be little or no news of or about XFree86. Is it being updated or is it outdated?

| Netlabs do work on it. They have version 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 on their FTP site. /pub/XFree. There are still some active websites out there on OS/2's version and installation, but most of them are either old or defunct. HTH you.

| My understanding is that the main XFREE86 development (not just OS/2) has mostly halted after some internal issues. |

| unixos2.org may be a better source for XFree86 ... or Linux ports. |

There never has been much activity here at all. People with questions re. XFree86/OS2 usually ask in the XFree86/OS2 mailing list or the news groups. |

| And are there any plans to make an OS/2 port of X.org, which seems to be the follower of Xfree86 ? |

IIRC one person from the XFree86/OS2 mailing list tried to compile it but got stuck at some point because of incompatibilities with Innotek gcc. |
