I have read lots of documentation lately, including the xfree86 docs for
this, and all they say is to use one or the other (which is obvious from
the symbol conflic error it throws) but not which one, or why there is two
of them. I never did figure out which one to use.

So thanks, now I do.

And actually the reason I even came accross this was last time I ran
apt-get upgrade on my friends machine, (debian unstable) it upgraded her
XFree86 and the configure scripts uncommented both and rather broke Xf86.
I probably should have filed a bug report but I don't really have any more
specific information.

Just letting you know that this is(was) something that happens.

Thanks,
