This was the first free time I've had to do this, and > 2. I'm not sure that I was "brave" enough to try the BETA... Fair enough. How do you feel about giving the beta for the next release a try?

You gave me a complete heart attack there; I was thinking that the standard install didn't include a.out libs when it installed X. > Perhaps an "XFree86 aout library port" needs to be added?
