Yes, I used exactly the mail ANNOUNCEMENT (lazy cut&paste)
cp OverlayAndNoDITest.tar.bz2 /usr/X11R6/bin
cd /usr/X11R6/bin
mv XWin.exe XWin.orig.exe
mv xf_dx.dll xf_dx.orig.dll
bunzip2 OverlayAndNoDITest.tar.bz2
tar -xf OverlayAndNoDITest.tar
Then, I got the message in my first mail.
I tried with test Xwin.exe and old xf_dx.dll. X is starting, but keyboard and
mouse are kind of erratic (how unexpected !! ;-)
