I'm sorry if I broke the thread, I'm not on the mailinglist.
Having said that I noticed the following on the list :

Something like that. Well, I noticed the problem here too. Actually, I got my
X working because I read the mail mentioned above, which suggested it could
have to do with unix/:7100 being a fontpath element in my XF86Config-4. So I
removed the line and X worked ! :)
I'm running kernel 2.4.0-test8 and the first X4 packages that got into woody.
Besided that being fixed now, I experienced random crashes of my X with my
old configfile (that's why I wanted to try a new one). However, that
configfile was rather dirty, so I hope the problem is fixed now with this
fresh one :)
Greetz,
