V3.2-2003-03-23 (Experimental release)

So far, so good. This is the best release so far, for me. It has solved one MAJOR annoyance on my system: vertical refresh. On my other system (Celeron 466/SiS620/on-board video) I could get 75 Hz refresh @1024x768. On my friend's system (AMD 1800+/SiS735/GeForce 256) , I could get 85 Hz at the same resolution -- but on my system (AMD 1800+/AMD761/GeForce2 MX), I could only get 60 Hz. That's now fixed; I'm getting 85 Hz -- I think it's the new XFree86 version.

The new fonts are really clean. The new pointers and cursors are an improvement, though I have mixed feelings about the drop shadows. OpenOffice.org is fixed. Mozilla is up to 1.3 -- cool!

It looks like the Config file format is changed -- trying to load mine from the last version seems to have confused KDE, but I'm not surprised and only mildly disappointed..

This is the version I'm going to install to HD, and my transition away from Win98 SE will accelerate.

just booted up with the 'experimental' 3.2 with XFree 4.3 and had problems.. i'm using the SiS 730 chipset (on ECS K7SOM) and it was working fine with the xmodule vesa.. couldn't get vesa to display 1024x768 even after playing around with xvrefresh. knoppix finally tried the module fbdev when i set it xvrefresh to 50 and it worked..

any idea why? i'm not even sure what the difference is between these two modules

This release now has everything working fairly well. Open Office now works in english. Boot speed is okay. Seems to have video problems with Intel 815 Chip set (Dell GX150).

What has changed?

Yes, what was changed. Everything seems to work fine in the 3/23/03 'experimental' release except smb Windows shared printers. Worked flawlessly in 3.1.

Lo and Behold....I see another release late yesterday! But Sheeeesh......All this downloading is heating up my cable.....it's glowing!

Seems Klaus likes to release in sets of three!

Does LyX export to PDF again as it did in 3.1?
