Do you have the proper format for the XF86Config file for use by X4? The
upgrade to X4 does not do this for you. You must either run the xf86config
util for X4 or edit the file yourself (much easier now).

I wrote an article on XFree86 4.0 for Maximum Linux. It's online on their
site now. http://www.maximumlinux.com/howtos/howto/2000_07/

HTH. Let me know if it doesn't help.
