x.org vs xfree
So i've done a little bit of reading up on x.org and xfree. What I am currently running is a gentoo box 2.4.26 kernel, with xfree 4.0.3. I was thinking about unmerging xfree and emergeing x.org Is this a good idea?
The main problem im running into, and im almost postive changing to x.org will NOT fix this problem, is direct rendering with my videocard (radeon 8500 AIW) i've followed many instructions on getting it working, and i've used the fire gl drivers as instructed however it will either do nothing when I run glxinfo, (if Im booted into the firegl drivers) or return no.
ANYWAYS, pretty much what advantages and disadvantages should I expect from the change to xfree to x.org
