Not all.  Some.  There's a bug in diagnostic code which used to cause
no problem but now causes this segfault (dang).  I've been told that
you can drop in my source tar in xsrc/xc/programs/X, comment out the
offending code, and rebuild X server, and it'll work.

Around line 430 of macColorScreens.c:

#ifdef DEBUG
    {
        char *visualStr[] = {
            "StaticGray", "GrayScale", "StaticColor",
            "PseudoColor", "TrueColor", "DirectColor",
        };
        VisualID vid = screen->rootVisual;
        VisualPtr visual = screen->visuals;

        ErrorF("rootVisual = %d (%s)\n", vid, visualStr[vid]);

What you have to do is to change "#ifdef DEBUG" to "#ifdef 0" or
something to disable this block of code.

Hope this helps,
