I also installed XFree4.0 while I shouldn't BUT I DIDN'T REINSTALL THE OS.
Please FORGET about this BAD idea! You are in a UNIX environnement! This
is NOT windows!
If you have installed XFree4.O and want to install XFree3.3.6, then you
just have to boot, uninstall XFree4.0 and install XFree3.3.6. And you are
done.
Everybody should understand that if one package has problems, then you
just handle the faulty package. And you don't have to reinstall the whole
thing from scratch. Could it be a problem with X, the security level, the
internet connection, or anything, you can repair it.
Sorry, but I had to say it.
