What version of Xorg?

My previous Slackware 11.0 has Xorg version 6.9.0. I can see from the x.org
web site the latest version is 7.3 and 7.4 is coming. I upgraded Slackware
to version 12.0 and it seems Xorg now reports version 1.3.0 instead of an
expected value in the 6.9 to 7.4 range. Anyone know WTF is that?
Oh, and as usual, it doesn't work. There always seems to be some change to
the configuration files, so I have to always start over reconfiguring it.
This time I ran "xorgcfg" with the xorg.conf file absent, so it would detect
my hardware and set it up in xorg.conf for me (then later I would modify it
to get my favorite modeline back). But it doesn't succeed in this case.
The screen goes blank and X is running at 100% CPU. Doing strace shows no
syscalls are happening after this. This is the exact behaviour I saw when
just trying my previous config file. So, something else is broken this
time around. FWIW, the video card is Matrox Millennium (mga).
