Bug#395564: X server enters cpu loop on startup following 7.1 upgrade

["Bailey, Scott" <scott.bailey@eds.com>]

Jurij, thanks very much for the follow-up.

Executive Summary: I am working now (!!!)

Details:

- I took the xorg.conf you provided, and edited it to account
for my monitor. (Tweaked sync ranges, added '1600x1200' to modes).
This worked immediately.

- I then diff'd my working xorg.conf with the broken xorg.conf
and started working through the options to see the effect of each
difference, if any.

- The first thing I tried was adding the line:

	FontPath "unix/:7100"

to the beginning of the Files section. This produced the CPU loop
I described. Removing this line again corrected the problem.

Hence I conclude that my local font server is either evil or just
misunderstood. :-) I checked and it is running... /usr/bin/xfs
provided by package xfs 1.0.1-5.

I am happy to leave matters as they stand, but I wonder how many
other people may run into this situation? If I can assist by trying
more tweaks to further refine the problem, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks again,

Scott Bailey
