I had the same problem til a kind sole told me that I needed to tell X which
version to link to:
"What defines your X version, is the link
/etc/X11/X
if it is linked to something like
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_XXXX then it is the 3.3.6
if it is linked to
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 then it is 4.0.x
Also, /var/log/XFree86.0.log is the output of your
last X session, and you can find lot sof info there
too, just a good way to check out things :)
To make it 4.0.x straight delete the link and remake
it in the correct way
rm /etc/X11/X
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X
will do the job. Goodluck
Onur"
That fixed me right up!.
