Re: Building XFree86 3.3.6 using gcc3.3.5

   It may be that XFree86 3.3.6 isn't expected to compile
with 2.6 kernels.  We officially dropped support for XFree86
3.x versions some number of years ago and I know we did have
to add some 2.6 kernel specific stuff to the XFree86 4.x
servers.  XFree86 3.x isn't necessarily any lighter than
XFree86 4.x servers.  The only reason for considering a
3.x server would be for old graphics adaptors which aren't
well-supported in 4.x.  Which graphics adaptor do you have?
If it's well-supported in 4.x you're better off with 4.x.
