Folks, there's a reason the line:

	XFree86 requests should be addressed to <xfree86@physics.su.oz.au>

appears in my .signature.  I do not run Linux; most of the time I can't
answer the Linux-specific questions that people send me.  The XFree86
contact address exists for a reason.  So does the comp.windows.x.i386unix.

The only reason I read comp.os.linux at all because of the astounding
volume of mis-information that circulates here about XFree86.  This stuff
doesn't even belong in this newsgroup.

And BTW - the name of the software is XFree86.  Not Xfree, XFree, Xfree86.
In particular, don't leave off the '86'.  I get questions from people who
think 'XFree' runs on Suns.  Please don't perpetuate this myth.
