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. > Second idea -- try setting your mouse protocol to something specific. > Third idea -- try removing the gamma and dpms options from your monitor.

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, Robert
