I noticed tonight that the upgrade script for XFree86 3.2 has two
major bugs which caused it to fail to upgrade a key package. I just
fixed these bugs, so people who used the script before 22:06 EST today
should run it again to upgrade fully.
(For those of you who don't know about this, I wrote a script to
simplify upgrading to XFree86 3.2:
/mit/linux/redhat/current/i386/XFree86-3.2/update.sh. XFree86 3.2 is
a newer version of XFree86 than the RedHat(-Athena) 4.0 default and
has many improvements over 3.1.2, including new or improved support
for many video cards. It should work correctly now; you may flame me
if it doesn't.)
