To me, it seems, your XFree build is somewhat wrong. Have you tried the native
.tgz's, that are found on ftp.xfree.org ?
You can safely install them on top of your current X install. In order to do a somewhat
clean un-install, i strongly suggest, you do a backup of the following dirs:
/etc/X11
/usr/X11R6
given, you have a normal X setup. I usually do a copy of these dir's to another location,
like
/etc/X11 -> /etc/X11.org
/usr/X11R6 -> /usr/X11R6.org
that leaves all the files in the normal places. The Xinstall.sh, that comes with the tarballs,
happily overwrites the contents in the orginal location, as desired.
Try the 4.0.1 tarballs for alpha. They should work in your setup....
