Which reminds me, the last time I tried compiling 2.6.8.1 with
x86-64.org patches applied, I was unable to get 32bit apps(tried
firefox, OOo, and a couple of games like ET) to connect to the X server
without "xhost +"!!

I don't have an exact error message(rolled back to 2.6.7, frustrated me
to no end until I realized that I've changed nothing more since the last
reboot than the kernel, not even the nvidia driver), it was something
with "connection refused" and "xlib: no protocol specified" :)
