No apparent (run time) problems here - make sure to put /usr/X11R6/lib
in /etc/ld.so.conf, execute "ldconfig -v", and ensure that "xfs" is
running before installing - otherwise you may be faced with X
perpetually restarting, and booting to runlevel 1 or 3 to fix
things...

One of my machines was already set up 'properly' for xorg-x11. The
other wasn't... :-)

Cheers,
