The XFree version that is included with the Slackware distribution is not
compatible with ATI cards so I had to download a newer version to get new
servers. For some reason not all of the libs and headers were included
(yes, I downloaded the libs file). I solved this by installing the version
from the CD but I kept the servers from the newer version.. Everything
works fine now except for gnome-media, gnome-admin, gnome-utils and
gnumeric (see the Slackware thread)
