You can relink /usr/X11R6/bin/X (which points to XFree86) so that it
points to whichever server you use(ie XF86_SVGA). Or you can run XSetup
or Xconfigure(anything but xf86config) should point X back to a 3.3.6
version. But I'd check /var/log/xdm_error.log to see if it is the
XFree86. I'm using 4 that came with the 7.1 beta, and it hasn't given me
any trouble. In fact, I'd never go back to 3.3.6 because my 3d
performance with the new tnt driver rocks!
