Yes

Yes it does.  I've never tried this 'till you mentioned it, but have 
just tried a few different configurations of xfs and there's no 
difference.  I did find out however that the Xlib error I was getting
running xset -q (ie: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing....) is because
I'm running XAccel and not XFree and DOES go away when I switch to the
XFree server.  However the font error messages do not.  Nothing gets 
logged to the error file I set up for xfs except "xfs notice:
terminating" when I stop the server.

Any other possibilities you can think of ?  ;)

Thanks much
