Not sure, but I suspect that you need your Linux X binaries and libraries
in /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6 synced up with your FreeBSD versions. Grab
the Linux 4.1.0 binaries from the XFree86 site and put the corresponding stuff
in /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6, after having backed up the original content
of course. Then you need to run /usr/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig. Be careful
not to run the FreeBSD ldconfig by accident! 

(I think that you need Xbin.tgz and Xmod.tgz, unpack them in a temp directory
and put some of the files is the compat dir - at least I needed those for
enabling DRI for Linux binaries in XF 4.0.2)

Hope it helps,
Karel.
