Hi there,

I've had this font problem since slink (iirc) and it persists
as of Xsun version 3.3.6-9.
I don't know of a cure.
However I usually don't get a fatal server error just

Cannot open /dev/gpmdata, error 2. Trying /dev/sunmouse.

I thought the default was sunmouse ?!? 
I don't even have gpm installed..

Not much of a help....
