i thought mandrake 8 came out like 3 months before Xfree86 4.1..do you have any guaranntee it comes with the latest stable verssion not a beta?>

It might actually be Xfree 4.0.3, I'm not sure
if 4.0.3 works enough for you to be able to use it, you can get 4.1 with the software manager with no problems at all.

Just open the Mandrake Software Manager (or whatever it was called) and then add a "Cooker" source. You can then download Xfree 4.1 as if it were a package on the CD.

RedHat 7.1 has Xfree 4.03. Newest SUSE should come with X 4 also...

SUSE Linux 7.2 was released on 15th June...

you don't need 4.1 - 4.03 has drivers for radeon in it.

4.1 has 3d acceleration for radeon in them...4.03 it is broken in them

XF86 4.1 just dropped a week or two ago, right? That's hardly time for any distro to fully embed it into a release. You might be able to get binary or source RPMS/DEB/TGZs for you distro, but I don't think you can expect more than that.
