I also had the same problem (with xfs not being installed...I had it installed in the 3.x X windows) which resulted in X freezing on startup...I've been GUIless since the woody 4.x rollout. I'm now installing the font server. Just wanted to acclaim that Jelmer is NOT the only one. Btw, there are packaging problems, I had to go back and install utils as well (at least) to get things going minimally. I'm so glad to be in X again. Danny Barron
