Interestingly, the new X font server
Upgrade to 4.10. 4.02 is buggy.
Or download 4.03 from the XFree86.org ftp server. This is not a full release, but just patches for X 4.02.
Which is still buggy. I used 4.03 for about a month and was really frustrated with its bad implementation of mouse pointer masking. (That's how you can draw a mouse pointer anywhere without overwriting the background on the screen). Upgraded to 4.10 (actually only upgraded the X server and libraries (it was hard but i did it)) and the problem was fixed.
I still get a weird (predictable) pattern on screen when I startx, just before the X server screen comes up.
