# ll /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/bin
total 46
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    24K Jul  2 12:48 gears*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    21K Jul  2 12:48 glxinfo*

So it works as intended (it find the dir in the linux compatibility
directory, so it doesn't lookup the FreeBSD one).

Maybe some important lib is linked in in an old version?

Bye,
Alexander.
