There seems to be a problem with the xtest (/usr/X11R6/bin/xtest)file.
It will not allow me to start a gui version of the Mandrake Control
Center (MCC) However, if I replace xtest with my old Xfree86-4.3.0 xtest
file, the MCC will startup.

Here ie a printout of the complaint by xtest:
[stan@localhost stan]$ which drakconf.real
/usr/local/bin/drakconf.real
[stan@localhost stan]$ kdesu drakconf.real
[stan@localhost stan]$ su -c drakconf.real

********************************************************************************
The file "drakconf.real" is a perl script & MCC is a gui version of
drakconf present on my Mandrake 9.2 linux distribution.
I am a retired printer who is darn glad he followed your installation
instructions & made backups of my old XFree86 installation.
I suspect the old version of xtest was probably modified by Mandrake
because it is quite a bit smaller than your new xtest file. --- Please
let me know if it is ok to continue using the old xtest file or if you
want me to send you more info.
Thank you ----Stan Senuta (Rochester,NY)
