I'm having similar problems with the prebuilt 4.4.0 and Fedora. In my case, the kernel config options had the IPv6 stuff set to load as a module. When I rebuilt the kernel to force IPv6 to be included directly, the X problems disappeared.
I'm still trying to discover from this list how to compile 4.4.0 without IPv6 support. So far, so bad... :( Terry. >Hi > >I installed the 4.4.0 on a RH 9.0 server, and I did back up the /etc/X11 >dir first. >The X starts but the behaviour is strange.
