I tried Arlindo's precompiled X11R6.3 - works very well - thanks!

One problem I'm having:
  Running xterm doesn't seem to work well with any of the shells I 
have (bash, tcsh).  Bash freezes up; tcsh works but has no 
prompt (even after I set the prompt variable!).  I've tried setting
the "TERM" variable to "tty" and "linux" - linux works, after
I copied /usr/X11R6.3/etc/termcap to /etc/termcap

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Rob
