For what it's worth, I tried out XFree86 4.2 on my i386 box, using a Riva
TNT (not TNT2) board.

Things I noted:

1. The 7x14 font was gratuitously replaced with something ugly.
2. DPMS said it was there, but wasn't working for me.
3. xf86cfg put my monitor (fixed-resolution LCD display) into a mode which
   it couldn't handle, and somehow managed to wedge that mode into place
   such that trying to move to a wscons failed to affect the screen. Luckil=
y,
   blind-typing "shutdown -r now" avoided fifteen minutes of fsck'ing. (I
   ended up having to use the new xf86config, which was a really nice
   experience.)

The installation process was, indeed, sleeker, but the problems I encounter=
ed
were enough to send me back to XFree86 3.3.6.

YMMV.
