Can I use YDL 3.0.1 on a Mac Mini?

[Joseph E. Sacco, PhD]

Ah... Didn't pay close attention to Owen's post. Sorry about that...

I take it that you do not [yet] have a ydl.net account. 

As for YDL-3.0.1... I guess you could try it, but it is quite old.

Here is thought... If Xorg-0.6.6 is the problem, maybe YDL-4.0.1 can be
installed on the mini and then a newer version of Xorg, say 6.8.2, can
be added without removing or overwriting the existing Xorg installation:

        http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/CvsPage

I run Xorg-6.8.2 under YDL-4.0.1, built and installed using the approach
discussed above and it works fine.

Hmmm...  That seems like a lot of work for the price of a ydl.net
account. 

I know that Owen has a mini. If Owen has "blessed" YDL-4.0.91 on a mini,
that would seem to be the way to go.
