You might really consider removing all 3.3.6 servers from your system--I'm using an ATI All-in-wonder 128 board, and it works just fine under 4.1. I'm running 7.2 also, and when using that stupid 'look at my windoze gui' installer, I chose not to install the old X servers. Hope that helps. Do a lot of rpm -q commands for that, or just use an rpm manager to find all your X packages and get rid of 3.3.6.
