XFree86 is a dying project as far as I know.  There has been a fairly 
wide level of acceptance of the new Xorg server among  developers and 
distros.  I've been using the Xorg server on FC3 without any incident 
and the future looks quite bright for the project.  My impressions are 
that Xorg is the future and frankly, I'm surprised it's taken this long 
for debian to make the switch.
