Yes, I found the message right after I responded to Ani. I will re-visit the soft links and see...I may have been doing something wrong. It kept giving me an error message.
Regarding the -version.... When I was uanble to get XFree86 -version to work, I tried X -version, and I still got several screenfuls of stuff. I think the reason is because of some things I've done and haven't gotten reversed yet. I'll try to clean some things up and see what it gets me before I revert to another HD wipe.
