Hi, In Redhat Linux, you would do a soft link from /etc/X11/X to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86. It would currently be pointing at something like /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA or one of the other v3 Xservers. In my case, the creating the link commands would look like:
(as root) cd /etc/X11 rm X ln -s ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 X I found Xconfigurator would change this link also, by doing Xconfigurator --preferxf4. However, be careful, as Xconfigurator will overwrite your /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (or both?). The locations of the files and the links vary from one version of linux to another, I think. But the explanations of link locations would probably be in places like man XF86Config, man Xconfigurator, man XFree86, man startx, man xinit, and so on. Once the link is set and the XF86Config-4 file is in the right spot, I believe startx will work without any trouble and you will be in XFree86, i.e. version 4 of the X server. Hope this helps.
