Thanks Jean! This certainly enabled me to build the product and install
it.
The problems that I've since encountered with XFree86-4.1.0 since, has
forced me to revert back to 4.0.3. In particular, it doesn't work with
the Intel i810 chip at all! Problems with unresolved symbols, (eg:
"XAAFillSolidRects", "fbPictureInit) were worked around by including:
Load "xaa"
Load "fb"
into the /etc/X11/XF86Config file, to force the module load (this wasn't
required in XFree86-4.0.3, it loaded it automatically). However, this
wasn't quite enough to stop it from failing with a segfault at the
very end; no apparent cause.
Sigh. Roll on the next release.
