X11R7.1 was released in 2006, well before XGE. It comes with server 1.1.0, we're now up to 1.10.3. I recommend using that one, you'll run into all sorts of issues otherwise (unless everything else on your box is from 2006 too). http://who-t.blogspot.com/2009/10/x11r75-released-but-what-is-it.html might be worth reading too.
