Replace Xorg with Xfree86 in FC13

[Mareshal]

Is there a guide how to do this?

[stevea]

Very unlikely that a full guide exists,
http://www.xfree86.org
There are some Linux binaries ,but you have to match with the glibc revision, or you can build from source.
The "latest" release is ~16 months old and their promised 2009 SUmmer/Winter release never happened. The project appears to be limping, not quite dead.


If you don't mind the question - why Xfree86 ? Is there some improved HW support in the server ?

Looks like the last questions on the maillist are from November.

ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager

which: no XFree86 in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/ady/bin)


because of this. My driver at this moment only plays 1080p movies OK. but no compiz or desktop effects. they are not necessary but...I feel like the system is incomplete.

that would be a very difficult thing to do. Unfortunately it's well-known that ATI's proprietary driver lags behind in its X support and hence it takes a while for them to release a version which works with a given new Fedora release. There really isn't a good workaround for this if the open driver doesn't do 3D for you, you just have to sit on your hands and wait :/
