I have had xfs choke also on three different systems running 6.0 and
6.1. I can't put my finger any any one thing that causes the problem. I
have temporarily fixed it by using tcp sockets instead of unix domain
sockets. Here's what I did:
1. Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config
2. Change FontPath unix/:-1
to FontPath tcp/localhost:37102
Use any socket you like.
3. Edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs
4. Change occurances of daemon xfs [...] -port -1
to daemon xfs [...] -port 37102
Of course your font server is open over tcp, but I was just trying
things to make it work. Anyone care to venture a guess why the unix
sockets stop working for xfs?
