I have the same problem with my X. But it occures only under same
circumstances. If I am logged in as root, the X-server starts normally,
but if i am logged in as normal user, i get an error message while starting
the server in the file /etc/X11/Xsession in line 408 (or near there) saying
that i have no permission to access the /dev/null. The failure with the
PEX-font occures in both cases but seems to be ignored.
Do you know some hints for me to solve this problem?
