What does 'X -showconfig' say about the version of XFree86? If I recall
correctly, there was a driver or font problem in 4.0.x (I forget which
x) which caused this. I don't have access to the xfree86 xpert archives
here, although you can read them online at
http://www.xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo/xpert. Google is probably the
best way to find mail from xpert, as XFree86 doesn't have a search
option.
