During the bombing raid of Wed, 18 Oct 2000 20:23:07 +0200, somebody
heard allx mumble in fear:

>status" reports that the process is dead.

        I've had the same problem, tho I install X4.0.1 from source. The
problem *I* have noticed is that the xfs that comes with it doesn't like
the -daemon option that the /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs script calls it
with....so I just call xfs from rc.local with:

/usr/X11R6/bin/xfs -config /etc/X11/fs/config -port -1 &

        And that gets over the problem. I hope this helps :)
