Yes, they should. Most likely cause: incorrect (read: partial) update to
Xfree4.
likely problems:
- Suse is confused about what to run
- The server itself (the "X" executable) is still the old one
- The Config file is broken/missing (XF4 uses /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 )
- Dynamic library problems.
Do you get any kind of error when you start X?
Greetings, Taco
