Hi all,

i am confused as to what X to use in general.

XFree86 when used with a non nvidia video card
seems to work well. But is it encouraged / supported
or not recommended for use in NetBSD?
Is it being phased out?
Should we be using Xorg?
Why does a default install still have XFree86?

I thought it had been given the boot but I'm not 
sure.

thanks,
Paul.
