Hi All,
ok, but, I'm not getting a chance to sign in, at all, unless I've set
telinit 3 at the end of the kernel argument. BTW, shouldn't xfs be
starting by default at boot up.? Appreciate you giving me the info to
steer me further ahead, just, well, I'm still kinda outa my depth, I
guess. Sorry for being a pain, guys. Cheers.

Mark, have you tried this: go into the directories /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/*
and chmod 644 all the font* files.
In tcsh (sorry, don't know bash too well at the moment):
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
foreach d (*)
chmod 644 $d/font*
end
That worked for me when I had the same problem. It seems that one of
the fonts.dir files is not by default world readable and so cannot be
read by the X server. I don't know why this should be the case though!
cheers,
ian
