XFree86 worked fine for me since 1994. I sometimes had problems when exiting a video game like Doom or Quake. SVGAlib would give problems but that wasn't X.

- peoplefromibiza 4y agoYep, my point was my experience in 1999 with XFree86 was with Linux, which was less stable than today per se, before that I only used Xsgi on SGI Workstations, which was proprietary and was already HW accelerated.
- LeFantome 4y agoIt would help if you did not give easily verifiable facts to reveal the inaccuracy of your recall. You may have been using Doom in 1994 but you certainly were not using Quake. If this is an accurate memory, what year is it from?
- lizknope 4y agoI installed Linux on my PC in September 1994 at the start of my sophomore year of college. I remember playing Doom during that school year from Sept 1994 to May 1995. The Quake Wiki says Qtest was released Feb 24, 1996 and I remember playing that the week it was released. I always felt that X11 on Linux was just as stable as X11 on SunOS, Solaris, Ultrix, HP-UX, IRIX, and AIX.
