The new config file for 4.0.2 is XF86Config. Unfortunately, and don't
ask why cause i don't know yet, X is using the XF86Config-4 file when
it starts. Apparently the font path unix/:-1 is no longer
acceptable.???smh???
Create a new XF86Config with xf86config from the console, backup the
XF86Config-4 and Copy your *new* XF86Config as XF86Config-4. The X
server will start& run - at least it did on mine.
If someone knows which file is mandating XF86Config-4 for the XFree86
4.x series, I'd like to know. I'll find it eventually but I'd like to
have some Christmas cheer :-) too.
HTH
Merry Christmas to All!!!!
