I don't think it's xfonts-base-transcoded causing it: ii xfonts-100dpi 4.1.0-8 ii xfonts-75dpi 4.1.0-8 ii xfonts-75dpi-transcoded 4.1.0-8 ii xfonts-base 4.1.0-8 ii xfonts-base-transcoded 4.1.0-8 ii xfonts-cyrillic 4.1.0-8 ii xfonts-pex 4.1.0-8 ii xfonts-scalable 4.1.0-8 ...and I can start X fine. -- G.
