On the 22nd of June, the updating of XFree86 4.0 was
announced,(the program responsible for the management of the
graphic mode). Among other news, it counts on the graphic
configuration developed by the Conectiva staff.

“This tool allows the user to perform several configurations in
easy and practical form. Using only the mouse and keyboard, it is
possible to move images from monitors to configure the physical
“images of” monitors layout of a system with two or more monitors,
configure devices and modelines, which are parameters that specify
the speed at which the image on the screen is redesigned, among
other functionalities.”

“Whoever wishes to obtain this new version, can find information
on the CVS (Concurrent Versions System) procedures at:
http://www.xfree86.org/cvs. If you downloaded the Conectiva SRPM
package, you will have an easier time using the source-code copy,
since the CVS control directories are included in files of the
XFree86 4.0.”
