Well, it hangs before it starts a client, but I did have the fonts
uncommented before. I've tried several of the obvious permutations. I wish I
could get some information out of it so I wasn't just going blindly. I tried
gdb too, but the hang was two or three "???" levels below InitOutput, and I
kind of hoped things would be easier than going into xsource.

No luck there :(

Do you know where this is documented? I didn't ind it in the XFree86 or mga
man pages...

Yup. (Tried it with and without the option)

What's MTRR anyway? I haven't changed the kernel in a while, but I'll look
for that when I recompile it out of desperation :)
Thanks for the suggestions,
