Have you visited www.xfree86.org? XF4 is not ready for primetime
according to them, which is why every other distro oly offers XF3.
While many of us, myself included, are able to run it with no
difficulty, it is experimental sofware, part of being on Mandrake's
"bleeding edge," not poor quality control.
Depending on a distro to keep you on the edge and then complaining
when they do so seems a might strange to me.
