I fully agree with you. It's just that the current XFree V4.0.1 doesn't
seem to work reliably on the TP-770X. Of course, your milage may
vary. Feel free to try it. As I said on my RH 7 installation it
repeatedly crashed the machine. Perhaps XFree-4.0.2 already has a fix. I
haven't had a chance to try that yet.
