OK - apparently I was being a _bit_ stupid, although the upgrade to X4
didn't prompt me for any config options. I backed up my X3 XF86Config,
changed /etc/X11/X, which was pointing at the XF86_SVGA server, to point
at /usr/bin/X11/XFree86 (shouldn't that have happened when I upgraded),
ran xf86config to create a new XF86Config, tweaked it a bit, and now I'm
running version 4! Thanks to those who offered suggestions.
