Most NetBSD people use pkgsrc. By default xpkgwedge is enabled
which causes X11 packages to be installed to /usr/pkg.
I would expect most of the apps wouldn't work anyway if they were
linked against xf4 libs.
But yes, anything hand built you should know about. But why hand
build when you can use pkgsrc!?

Deleting xf4.x is easy obviously just rm -rf /usr/X11R6/*
Don't do that! You'll delete all the X11 apps that came
with your distribution. Only a handful of the apps in the
bin directory were supplied by XFree86.
Mark.
If you want xf3.x you can probably update netbsd xsrc to the 2.0
branch and build it yourself.
NetBSD has both xf3 and xf4 in their anoncvs xsrc module.
xsrc/xfree/xc (xf4)
xsrc/xc (xf3)
Of course xf3 requires some fiddling to build since src/x11 never
supported it.

Hi there. I'm a regular unix user and I'm accustomed to X working
wonderfully. But I have an old Thinkpad 755CX laptop with the WD
chipset
that will not run the version of X windows that comes with NetBSD
2.0.
I perused the XFree86 site and found that version3.3.6 supports my
chipset.
How can I replace my 4.4.0 Xfree86 version with the older one?
Thanks for any help
