since X11 is sometimes messy .... always do:
	root# cp -p /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.works
	root# cp -p /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config.works
	root# cp -p /usr/X11/bin/XFree86 /usr/X11/bin/XFree86.works
	
 	and save the binary of where "X" points to
		/usr/X11/bin/X -> XFree86

- it will save your butt on day... unless fiddling w/ X11 is fun .. ymmv
