That doesn't help if you want the XF86 version 4.x

I can't stand XF86336 because, among other things, the trutype font
support sucks on alpha.  The truetype servers crash and the
fontserver crashes.  Even building the font server with Compaq C and
running it remotely on a Tru64 box doesn't help...
