Upgrade to a newer XFree86.
Just to add to that, XFree86 4.0.3 is what shipped in Red Hat Linux 7.1. The current erratum release of XFree86 is 4.1.0-15 for Red Hat Linux 7.1 and 7.2. Also, experimental XFree86 4.2.0 packages are available at the ftp URL in my signature built for Red Hat Linux 7.2, which should likely work ok in 7.1 as well. I recommend using the 4.1.0-15 erratum release first to see if it includes the fix, and if not, you can try the experimental release if you're brave enough. ;o) Hope this helps. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
