**chamal** · 08-17-2003

Hi,

Plase tell me a way to find out the version of xfree86 version that i am currently using. And also how to upgrade it to xfree version 4.* if i am using an older version.

Thanks,
Chamal.

Code:

 X -version

just download the source, and type "make World && make install && make install.man"

I think that was correct, it might not be because I havent done it in a long time now.[/code]

if ur usign any rpm compatible distro (redhat/mdk/etc) type

Code:

rpm -qa|grep xfree

go rpm.pbone.net and click advanced, select only ur distro's tickboxes, ftp search and then type in xfree

Actually, that should be like this:

Code:

rpm -qa | grep -i xfree

That is because some distros spell the xfree86 package names with uppercase XF, which will not be found without -i, which does a case insensitive search.
