[ltp] XFree86 4 clueless newbie question

[David Newman]

thanks, Dan. Are you running XFree86 4? I think RH6.2 (what I run on most of
my other machines) runs XF 3.x. Hey, maybe I should just use that
instead...aside from a few GUI creature comforts I haven't yet found a
compelling must-have reason for 7.0
