OK, I got it. What a PITA.
I needed burn a cd with all the xfree86 4.0.2 file
for glibc 2.2.16-22 then run the Xinstall.sh
script. This overwrite all the X11 stuff.
Now X comes up but in twm (yuck).
Finally got Gnome to run (many yucks heard fom
the peanut gallary) and I'm ssh'ing into work.
It's now past midnight and I'm going to bed.
G'night all,
Kenny
