So this just started recently?  Hmmm...  is there a difference between
the version of X from the beta to the final/RC?  If there is, we can

Hmmm... at least yours is being detected although it seems to make no

ok, I suppose, I'd much rather be using X 4.0.3 so the screen drawing
isn't so darn slow.
