+ Abstract
- This document describes the bugs fixed and the features added in
- XFree86 3.3.2 compared with the 3.3.1 release, It also includes
- installation instructions for the binary distributions.
+ XFree86 is a port of X11R6.3 that supports several Unix and Unix-like
+ operating systems on Intel and other platforms. This release is a
+ maintenance release, fixing bugs found in XFree86 3.3.1. The release
+ is available as source patches against the X Consortium X11R6.3 code
+ and the XFree86 3.3.1 release. Binary distributions for many archi-
+ tectures are also available, including a binary upgrade for XFree86
+ 3.3.1.
-1. XFree86 and X11R6.3
+1. What's new in XFree86 3.3.2
-XFree86 releases starting with the 3.2A beta are based on the X Consortium's
-X11R6.3 (the final release from the X Consortium).
+For a summary of new features in this release, please refer to the RELNOTES
+file. For a detailed list of changes, refer to the CHANGELOG file in the
+source distribution.
-R6.3 is an update to R6.1, and is intended to be compatible with R6.1 and R6 at
-the source and protocol levels. Binaries should be upward-compatible. X11R6.3
-includes some new Xserver extensions: SECURITY, XC-APPGROUP, XpExtension (print
-extension), and an updated, and standardised version of LBX. X11R6.3 also has
-new standards, including RX (X Remote Execution MIME type), and a proxy manage-
-ment protocol. X11R6.3 includes support for gzipped fonts.
-R6.1 is an update to R6, and is intended to be compatible with R6 at the source
-and protocol levels. Binaries should be upward-compatible. X11R6.1 includes
-some new Xserver extensions: DOUBLE-BUFFER, XKEYBOARD and RECORD.
+2. Systems XFree86 has been tested on
-What about R6.2? X11R6.2 is the name given to a subset of X11R6.3, which has
-only the print extension and the Xlib implementation of vertical writing and
-user-defined character support in addition to those features included in R6.1.
+Note: Not all systems listed here have been tested with the current release.
+ SVR4.0:
-2. OS issues

-Always check the OS specific README files for special requirements or caveats.
+ o Microport: 2.2, 3.1, 4.1, 4.2
-Users running Linux should note that Elf is now the only binary type supported
-for Linux OSs. This means that binaries for ix86/a.out and AXP/ECOFF are not
-available with this release.

- o There are problems with some Cirrus laptop chipsets (75xx). The driver
- seems to work for some people, but not others. Until someone with the
- appropriate hardware can look into this, these problems are unlikely to be
- fixed. If you wish to work on this, please contact us. We don't need
- testers, we need people willing and able to fix the problems.
- o There are problems with some of the Trident laptop chipsets. The driver
- seems to work in a limited way for some people, but not others. Until
- someone with the appropriate hardware can look into this, these problems

+LaserView, Visa and Apollo monochrome cards.
+The VGA16 server supports memory banking with the ET4000, Trident, ATI, NCR,
+OAK and Cirrus 6420 chipsets allowing virtual display sizes up to about
+1600x1200 (with 1MB of video memory). For other chipsets the display size is
+limited to approximately 800x600.
+Notes: The Diamond SpeedStar 24 (and possibly some SpeedStar+) boards are NOT
+supported, even though they use the ET4000.
-Release Notes for XFree86[tm] 3.3.2
+The Weitek 9100 and 9130 chipsets are not supported (these are used on the Dia-
+mond Viper Pro and Viper SE boards). Most other Diamond boards will work with
+this release of XFree86. Diamond is actively supporting The XFree86 Project,
+Inc.
+3DLabs GLINT, Permedia and Permedia 2 support could unfortunately not be
+included in XFree86 3.3.2 since there are open issues regarding the documenta-
+tion and whether or not they were provided to us under NDA.
+S.u.S.E. will continue to make available binary only servers for these cards.
+These servers can be freely distributed just like XFree86, but sources cannot
+be made available. S.u.S.E. will continue to develop these servers and will
+continue to try to donate the code back to XFree86. For the time being S.u.S.E.
+will try to not only make Linux binaries available, but binaries for other
+platforms as well.
- are unlikely to be fixed. If you wish to work on this, please contact us.
- We don't need testers, we need people willing and able to fix the prob-
- lems.
+Please contact x@suse.de with further questions. You can find the servers at
+http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html
-4. Installing the XFree86 3.3.2 Release
+4. Where to get more information
-The XFree86 3.3.2 binaries are distributed as both a full release and as an
-upgrade to XFree86 3.3.1.
+Additional documentation is available in the XFree86(1), XF86Config(4/5),
+XF86_SVGA(1), XF86_Mono(1), XF86_VGA16(1), XF86_Accel(1), XF86Setup(1) and
+xvidtune(1) manual pages. In addition, several README files and tutorial docu-
+ments are provided. These are available in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc in the
+binary distributions, and in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc in the source
+distribution.
-NOTE: the X servers are no longer installed setuid root. If you are starting
-your X servers with startx/xinit, or something similar, you will need a copy of
-the setuid Xwrapper, and an updated xinit. These can be found in X332upd.tgz
-for those upgrading from 3.3.1, and in X332bin.tgz for those doing a full
-install.
+The files QuickStart.doc and README.Config should be consulted for information
+on how to set up the XFree86 servers. All supplied documents, manual pages,
+and the XFree86 FAQ <URL:http://www.XFree86.org/FAQ> should be read before con-
+tacting the XFree86 team for assistance.
-What follows is a list of the XFree86 3.3.2 components. There may be some
-variations in this for some OSs.
+Documentation on SVGA driver development can be found in the directory
+/usr/X11R6/lib/Server/VGADriverDoc in the binary distribution, and in the
+directory xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/VGADriverDoc in the source distribu-
+tion.
-The following are required for all new installations or upgrades from versions
-prior to 3.3.1:
+If you are totally at a loss, you can contact the XFree86 Support Team at
+<XFree86@XFree86.Org>. Before doing so, please make sure that you are using
+the latest release of XFree86. Check the versions listed on

+5. Thanks
+The XFree86 Project wants to express a special thanks to S.u.S.E. GmbH, Fuerth,
+Germany, for the long and successful cooperation over the last few years.
+S.u.S.E. GmbH at one point hired our Core Team member and Vice President Dirk
+Hohndel as an employee and allowed him to work more or less full time on
+XFree86 for almost nine months. S.u.S.E. continues to be a significant source
+of input and help to XFree86. This manifested itself in the XSuSE series of X
+servers that have all except for the GLINT server (due to unresolved legal
+issues) been integrated into XFree86 3.3.2.

-NOTE: Be very careful about installing X332cfg.tgz over an existing installa-
-tion if you have customised your xinit and/or xdm config files. Installing

-files, there is no need to install X332cfg.tgz.
+XFree86 support was integrated into the base X11R6 distribution by:
-NOTE: The bitmap fonts distributed with this release are compressed using gzip
-rather than compress. This means that you will probably want to remove the old
-versions (after backing them up). The Xservers and font server in releases
-prior to 3.2A cannot read gzipped fonts, so keep a copy of the old fonts if you
-wish to run older servers.
+ o Stuart Anderson <anderson@metrolink.com>
-The following X servers are for PC/AT based hardware (i.e., typical Intel ix86
-based PCs). Choose at least one which matches your hardware, as well as the
-VGA16 server. The VGA16 server is required by the new configuration utility
-(XF86Setup).

+8. The XFree86 Project, Inc.
+
+The XFree86 Project, Inc, was founded to accomplish two major goals:
+
+ 1. To provide a vehicle by which XFree86 can be represented in X Consortium,
+ Inc, the organization responsible for the design, development, and
+ release of The X Window System.
+
+ 2. To provide some basic funding for acquisition of facilities for ongoing
+ XFree86 development, largely to consist of new video hardware and basic
+ computing facilities.
+
+The first of these was the primary motivation. We have held discussions with
+the X Consortium on and off for many months, attempting to find an avenue by
+which our loosely-organized free software project could be given a voice within
+the X Consortium. The bylaws of the Consortium would not recognize such an
+organization. After an initial investigation about funding, we decided to form
+our own corporation to provide the avenue we needed to meet the requirements of
+the X Consortium bylaws.
+
+By doing this, we were able to be involved in the beta-test interval for X11R6,
+and have contributed the majority of XFree86 to the X11R6 and X11R6.1 core
+release. The version of XFree86 in the initial X11R6 core is 3.0. The version
+of XFree86 in the current X11R6.3 release is 3.2.
+
+An additional benefit of this incorporation is that The XFree86 Project, Inc
+has obtained outside financial support for our work. This will hopefully give
+us the freedom to be more pro-active in obtaining new video hardware, and
+enable us to release better products more quickly, as we will be able to go and
+get what we need, and get it into the hands of the people who can do the work.
+
+The current Board of Directors and Officers of the The XFree86 Project, Inc,
+are:
+
+ o David Dawes, President and Secretary
+
+ o Dirk Hohndel, Vice-President
+
+ o Glenn Lai, Director
+
+ o Rich Murphey, Treasurer
+
+ o Jim Tsillas, Director
+
+ o Jon Tombs, Director
+
+ o David Wexelblat, Director

+
+
+
+
+
+README for XFree86[tm] 3.3.2
+
+
+
+Email to <BOD@XFree86.org> reaches the board of directors.
+
+Our bylaws have been crafted in such a way to ensure that XFree86 is and always
+will be a free software project. There is no personal financial benefit to any
+member of the Core Team or any other XFree86 participant. All assets of the
+corporation remain with the corporation, and, in the event of the dissolution
+of the corporation, all assets will be turned over to the X Consortium, Inc.
+It is hoped that by doing this, our corporation will be merely a formalization
+of what we have been doing in the past, rather than something entirely new.
+
+As of March 1997, The XFree86 Project has revised its source/binary access and
+release policy. The main points of the new policy are:
+
+ o There will be no more time-limited public binary-only beta releases.
+ Instead we plan to increase the frequency of full public releases to about
+ four releases per year.
+
+ o The source access/use is divided into three categories:
+
+ o End users. End users have access to only the source of full public
+ releases. The main reason for this restriction is that our develop-
+ ment code often contains code from other sources which cannot be
+ released to the public immediately.
+
+ o Active developers (members of the XFree86 ``developer team'').
+ Active developers must formally become non-voting members of the
+ XFree86 Project, and have full access to our internal development
+ source. They are permitted to make time-limited binaries (in coordi-
+ nation with the Core Team) of the servers they are actively working
+ on available to external testers for specific testing.
+
+ o Commercial members. Commercial members are non-voting members of The
+ XFree86 Project who donate US$5000/year to the Project. Addition-
+ ally, companies who contribute significantly to the development
+ effort of XFree86 can be awarded commercial membership by the Core
+ Team on a yearly bases. Commercial members can use the internal
+ XFree86 development source for derived binary-only products providing
+ that they take full responsibility for supporting the product, and
+ don't call it ``XFree86'' (although the derivation of the product
+ must be acknowledged in any accompanying documentation). Binary
+ packages for the OSs we support which are simply compiled from our
+ internal source without significant added value are explicitly NOT
+ allowed.
+
+Here is a list of the organizations and individuals who have provided sponsor-
+ship to The XFree86 Project, Inc, either by financial contribution or by the
+donation of equipment and resources. The XFree86 Project, Inc gratefully
+acknowledges these contributions, and hopes that we can do justice to them by
+continuing to release high-quality free software for the betterment of the
+Internet community as a whole.

-For the purposes of these installation instructions, it is assumed that you
-have downloaded all the files to the /var/tmp directory. If you've put them in
-another directory, that's fine -- just replace all occurrences of ``/var/tmp''
-with the name of that directory.
-To run the pre-installation script, go to /usr/X11R6 and run it:
- cd /usr/X11R6
- sh /var/tmp/preinst.sh
-The next step is to make the installation utility executable. To do this, make
-sure the `extract' file is in the same directory as all the X332*.tgz files,
-and run the following from that directory:
- chmod 755 extract
-The installation utility ``extract'' is used to unpack the .tgz files that make
-up the XFree86 distribution. The .tgz files are gzipped tar files. However,
-``tar'' in its standard form on most OSs is not well-suited to the task of
-installing XFree86. The extract utility is a modified version of GNU tar 1.12
-built with the options required to make it suitable for installing XFree86.
-The source for extract is available from the same place you got the XFree86
-distribution.
-It is strongly recommended that you use the provided extract utility to unpack
-the XFree86 distribution. If you choose to ignore this and use something else,
-we don't want to hear from you if you run into problems. It is also important
-that you do not rename the extract utility. If renamed, it behaves just like
-the normal GNU tar.
-To extract the XFree86 binaries, run the following as root:
- cd /usr/X11R6
- /var/tmp/extract /var/tmp/X332*.tgz
-Once the required .tgz files have been extracted, run the post installation
-script:
- cd /usr/X11R6
- sh /var/tmp/postinst.sh
-For OSs which use ldconfig, you may need to run ldconfig or reboot to complete
-the installation. The postinst.sh script should run ldconfig correctly for you
-if you are using Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD. For other OSs that use
-ldconfig, check how it normally gets run at boot time.
