This looks like what happens when one buils older versions xfree86-rootless with the April 2002 Development Tools (10.1). If this is what you did, then this is a known problem.
Solutions are: 1) use the December 2001 Development Tools and rebuild xfree86-rootless (this is a bit painful) 2) use an "unstable" (by fink distro nomenclature) version of xfree86-base and xfree86-rootless (4.2.0-11) that has supposedly been fixed to avoid this problem--I use it with no problems. If you have done a 'fink selfupdate-cvs' recently, then the relevant info files should be available to you. Just follow the directions in http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable to get set up.
