Re: Help: XFree86 Mandrake 8.1 questions



 You was right it is indeed version 3
XFree86-Mach64-3.3.6-23mdk  package

So I need xtts font server for TTF fonts.

Does it mean that version 4 is not available for this ATI card ?

And would you please answer question about modules  2. XFree86 modules
  
  2.1 Which module support RENDER or auto-aliasing and whether is it
possible to load dynamically such module
  2.2 What is module - extension assosiation , how to find such file,
which
      module or extension is responsible for TTF support?
