I'm running a TP-770X with Linux and XFree86 since 2 years. Please see
my website for details:

   http://baiti.net/tp770x/

My latest experiences are the following though ( I had posted these to
this lists a few weeks ago, you'll find it all in the list archives):

  o  complete new RH 7.0 install
  o  comes with XFree86-4.0.1
  o  doesn't activate the V4 driver by default
  o  the 3.3.6 driver did _not_ work with "accel" option. As a result
     performance was a veg.
  o  learnt how to activate V4 driver (need to set symlink X ->
     ../../XFree86)
  o  V4 driver worked not reliably, once in a while system crashed
     totally and even pin-hole reset was required
  o  cure: copied the XF86_SVGA binary from RH 6.2 and adjusted 'X'
     symlink to it and everything is back to normal now which means
     X works realiably and with acceleration.

I have no idea why your KDE requests XFree86-4.0.2 though. Seems you
have installed a too new version of KDE and some of the KDE apps.
