Verify first of all if youve get all the necessary packages related to
XFree.
See www.rufus.com , go to distributions, mandrakesoft and select the first
XFree package you have downloaded. There you'll see what is provided and
what is needed by the package, see also the changelog. And so on.
Don't forget to download the 'libs' !
The X contribs are of course the X11R6 packages. Check out if there is a new
version needed for XFree 4. There is a new X11R6 version 4 on www.xfree.org
!
Let me now.
