Solution found, was Re: New X problems...
Well, since I usually want to know what's happening (as well as having a
functioning system) I did some investigating last night, and found that,
after 'make mrproper', menuconfig shows that the NFS file system is
enabled by default. With this option enabled, the errors occur in X.
Without this option X works fine.
I have no use for NFS, so it isn't a problem, but this could really suck
on system that want to use NFS.
I haven't tried making NFS as a module, but I suspect the bug is still
there, whatever it is.
Thanks for all the help,
