Re: [PLUG] Xfree86 4.0


OK, so someone told me that the G400 wouldn't work well with the Utah drivers and that I should go with the dri-patched version of X. So I'm following their directions (http://dri.sourceforge.net/DRIcompile.html) and it says to type 'lndir -silent -ignorelinks ../XFree40'. But I get that lndir is not a valid file or directory. I've been looking all over the place and can't find this thing. So, anyone know where to get lndir?

Well going by http://www.xfree86.org/4.0/Status.html the G400 is supposed
to be supported under the mga driver, but supported and actually getting
it to work the way you would like is usually two different things.
