2.1.1 runs fine on xfree-3.x. what does not work is things like font 
anti-aliasing, which is an extension -- render -- that did not arrive 
until xfree-4.02. hence, qt built with -xft and kde built against it 
would at minimum require 4.02 to have anti-aliasing; maybe to run at 
all. but if you want to build qt and kde-2.1.1 against xfree86-3.3.6, 
they'll run, and perhaps the qt and kde built against 4.03 will run 
as well, as seems to be the case on a notebook here (though it has 
both 3.3.6 and 4.03 installed, even though it's running 3.3.6).

there's more to history than what's in books;
that's why it took so long to happen.
