This file gives information for users who want to upgrade from 
an older version to XFree86-3.3.1.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Please read the whole text completely, before taking any action.

1. The beta versions 3.1.2D-G are expired now. Remove them and 
   install the recent version 3.3.1.

2. If you want to upgrade from 3.2 to the version 3.3.1: It is
   not recommended to copy new files over old ones. 3.3.1 contains the new
   X11R6.3 code base which is in some aspects INCOMPATIBLE to 3.2.
   In case of an update, you MUST remove the old code and install ALL
   new packages (including fonts!).

3. You may copy 3.3.1 over a 3.3 or 3.2A tree, because both versions
   already have the aforementioned incompatible changes. Still be careful 
   though that an unpacking of the archives may overwrite user files like 
   xinitrc.cmd.

4. If you have 3.3 and no interest to get the latest X Open Group fixes
   for the libraries and applications, you might consider to upgrade only
   the X server. This is possible. You must also install the file
   ftp://set.gmd.de/pub/misc/XFree86OS2/3.3.1/shm.zip, or your server won't
   run. This is an experimental addition which might be fixed in the future.

5. You have to remove the XConfig file and re-run the xf86Config program to 
   apply changes necessary for some hardware.
