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?
