Is there any real difference between xf98config and xf86config? Also how the heck can you tell if you are useing xfree86 3.x or xfree86 4.x? I know that 4.x uses the directory /usr/X11/ and 3.x uses /usr/X11R6.
Just i have both folders and i can't seem to find it in /var/log like it says on the how too..

Actually my xfree 4.0.3 uses X11 not X11R6. But that is just how I installed it. I forget exactly how to tell which one worked, but I know I put all my 3D accleration stuff in the xconfig-4 file (which is the one for 4.0.x) and 3D works so it must be using the right one:P

I notice that slackware 7.1 seems to load xfree 3.x and xfree 4.x. At least thats how it looks to me is that right? If that is so how do i tell it to use xfree 4. hehe I'm getting tired of crashing my xserver. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/08/2.gif

xf98config is for computers running the PC98 architecture (mostly in Japan). Use xf86config only, as you are using the i386 architecture https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif
As for Slackware, mine only installed 3.3.6, though 4.x was available on the contribs cd. I only have a 2 disk version, so I'm not sure which disk it is in the 4 disk set. What I did was install SW w/o X at first, then after the install I added the 4.0 package. But, both my 3.3.6 and 4.0 versions installed to /usr/X11R6.
