Thanks Mark,

Perhaps I need to compile the XFree.  I had installed it (4.01) earlier.  I
think it was from the SuSE site and from RPM.   The linuxnewbie.org
article that you are mentioning is what I am using as a guide.  So I do have
that reference.  I ASSumed that since I already had XF 4.01 working I could
skip that step - so now a step back and try again.

Thanks again,

Kurt
