ut2004 and linux x11 libs

Hi guys,

I regularly play ut2004 on my FreeBSD box. Lately I've run into a problem: 
After upgrading from x11/linux-XFree86-libs to x11/linux-xorg-libs (at the 
same time that I up'ed to the fc4 linux base). After doing that, ut2004 became 
pretty much unplayable. Maps wouldn't render properly, movement was choppy, 
the works.

Downgrading from x11/linux-xorg-libs to x11/linux-XFree86-libs solves the 
problem. 

Very irritating that for whatever reason the game needs the XFree86 libs. 
Fortunately switching between the two isn't exactly time consuming.

I just thought that I should mention this to the community at large, hence the 
email. Although if someone has an alternative solution I wouldn't mind 
hearing about it. :-)

Cheers,
DMK
