It *should* work with 4.1, I don't imagin too many changes to config files
between 4.0.x and 4.1. Somewhere in the distribution for 4.1 that you
installed there should be an example config file, have a look for that and
see how you go.
IIRC with 4.x and later you can do startx --configure or something like
that and it will do a lot of the work for you.

Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually
repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.
