Are the Apple changes to xfree86 now in the `fink' xfree86 ????

I'm asking because I can't find the Apple X11 beta... [I'm on Mac OS X 10.2 you see]

I want to make a clean re-install of 10.2 so...

Let me try first xfree86 and I'll get back in a few days. If I'm not happy with the performance, then

Thank you

Apple's changes are included in Xfree86 4.4, which is currently at RC2 and should be released RSN (before the end of the year). I think that the Fink version is still 4.3, which does not have them. Note that it might be worth waiting for 4.4, since it includes some features that are not in Apple's version.
