Thanks for the tip Iain. I was able to make XFree86 4.1 and edit the
host.def file so the ATI driver gets compiled, but now when I try 'startx'
it dies with the following error message:
xterm: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot load
shared object file: No such file or directory
Where do I get libncurses.so.4? Thanks.
