Same happened to me: the fix (assumed you followed the instructions
for the installation of the beta) is to run "ldconfig" as root.
Here is where I found the answer, after discovering that reinstalling
XFree did not produce any result:

Q.C5- I've installed the latest beta and now some applications die
as soon as I hit a key. What's wrong?
This problem is usually accompanied by an error message saying
that the symbol "XkbLookupKeySym" was unresolved/not found. It
happens when client programs still use the 6.0 versions of the
libraries that now have 6.1 versions. Something like this should
work to resolve it:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib
mv libX11.so.6.0 libX11.so.6.0.sav
mv libXaw.so.6.0 libXaw.so.6.0.sav
mv libXext.so.6.0 libXext.so.6.0.sav
mv libXtst.so.6.0 libXtst.so.6.0.sav
ln -s libX11.so.6.1 libX11.so.6.0
ln -s libXaw.so.6.1 libXaw.so.6.0
ln -s libXext.so.6.1 libXext.so.6.0
ln -s libXtst.so.6.1 libXtst.so.6.0
The exact commands may vary depending on your OS, but the principle
is the same: make sure the 6.1 versions of those four libraries
gets used.
On Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD, you need to either reboot or run
"ldconfig".
