    You using X.org or XFree86?

    For X.org check:
    http://www.x.org/X11R6.8.2/doc/RELNOTES3.html

    For XFree86 check:
    http://www.xfree86.org/current/RELNOTES3.html

    They're pretty much the same...

    He means "free" drivers, as in open source. I can't find any NVIDIA wise, but why does it matter if its open source or not? At least they even release a Linux driver!

    Free as in open source? Is that supposed to make sense?

    Who still uses XFree?
