Post some details (hardware ? xorg version ? driver version ? logs ?) because there isn't enough information in your post to even start investigating the issue. > At the same time important backwards compatability upon which many of our > applications depend, have been removed including PEX, Ximage, MIT-SUNDRY, > XFree86-Misc, among others creating a massive incompatability headache.

Are you trying to start a flamewar ? If so, save yourself the trouble.
