Greetings,

I just finished installing FBSD 3.0-current with XFree86 3.3.  When I
attempt to start X (using 'startx') with Accelerated X v3.1 (correctly
installed following the documented instructions) I keep getting the
following error (actually in attached file).  I recently 'nuked' my hard
drives and did a new, clean install from the 3.0-SNAP 970618.  Has anybody
else had this problem (FYI:  This message is being sent to both
FreeBSD-current mailing list and support@xig.com)?  If you've had the
problem, what was your solution.  X will start if I change the comma's
separating the fontpath statements, but I can only use the 'fixed' font
and nothing else.  Before I 'nuked' my HD's I made a backup of my old
/etc/Xaccel.ini file (and a few others). I renamed the new /etc/Xaccel.ini
file and copied the old file into the /etc dir.  I get the same results. 
I thought there might be a problem with X, so I D/L'ed the sources (using
the ports collectio) and rebuilt X w/ all the fonts and I'm still getting
the same results. 

I'm now out of ideas.  Where/what should I do/check next?

Thanks in advance,

Burton Sampley

Oh, BTW, I checked the xig web-page.  I didn't see anything in the FAQ
regarding XFree86 3.3.
