I am having trouble with a new install of XFree86 4.1.0 under OS X 10.1 
on a G4 400.

I followed the instructions at 
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.1.0/binaries/Darwin-ppc/Install.  I 
installed all the mandatory files, plus Xhtml.tgz and Xquartz.tgz.  (Are 
there other optional ones that I should have gotten?)  The installer 
told me that it had finished successfully.

I added /usr/X11R6/bin to the default $PATH.

When I type "startx -- -quartz" at the command line, the screen goes 
blank for a moment, as if it's going to work, and then it returns to the 
Aqua desktop, with the following printed to the terminal:

> Running in parallel with Mac OS X Quartz window server.
>
> XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System
> (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
> Release Date: 2 June 2001
>         If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your hardware is
>         newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
>         reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
> Operating System: Darwin
> Display mode: Quartz
>
> Fatal server error:
> assert failed on line 454 of darwinKeyboard.c!
>
>    OsVendorFatalError
>    AbortDDX
> Quitting XDarwin...
> X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

The line that stands out is "assert failed on line 454 of 
darwinKeyboard.c!"

I am using a non-Apple keyboard and mouse (a macally ikey and a 
Kensington ValuMouse USB 3 Button).  Is this what's causing the 
problem?  If so, what can I do, short of buying a new keyboard and/or 
mouse?

Unplugging all my other USB devices doesn't help.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
