[plug] Workshop

[William Kenworthy]

at the moment they are peas in a pod - Ive moved 3 gentoo systems to
x.org and notice no real differences at all.  One has a radeon card and
its marginally better (x.org is patched against the blanking bug,
whereas xfree wasnt). x.org does seem marginally more stable when
running OO and vmware at the same time on a radeon, but display
corruption still prevents running in full screen and total hard lockups
occur when moving the mouse at the wrong time (when doze is busy) - even
the bios controlled fans stay fixed!

As all the work seems to be going into x.org, I expect that it will move
ahead soon: there's a new release (in gentoo) due shortly I think.
