Below is a question I am wrestling with to.
The solution is to "Pick up http://xfree86.org/cvs" . I've been surfing
around this website, but I am not able to find the answer to the question there.
Could someone please help.

Koen Warner.

This problem's already solved. Pick up http://xfree86.org/cvs or wait for 4.0.2 due out "shortly".
