Hello Rage 128 people again,
I've now had a chance to get X and Netbsd up with the Xpert 128 card and
Am having that x-offset problem. Since I have to recompile the server
anyway would it be better to get Xfree 4.0.1?

I've heard on the list here of problems adding the new Xfree to the
package system. Will I have to rebuild all my clients? Or can I simply
install the new Xserver?

Thanks all for your time.
