Well there is a small screwup in the XFree86-4.2.1 code that  
makes a theoretically optional component non -optional in some hardware
configurations. In the atimisc driver Xaa is not made 'optional'
as it is apparently in other drivers.


The solution is to include a module that we don't need, and which is 
supposed to be optional, but is apparently not.


in the config file /etc/X11/XF86Config
at:

Section "Module"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "dri"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "pex5"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "xie"
        Load  "xtrap"
        Load  "speedo"
        Load  "type1"
        Load  "xaa"   <--------Add this line
EndSection


It's disconcerting when a -RELEASE system can't get X11 going
on SOME hardware, however at least the answer is simple.
