I'm having the same problem. Cvsupped and recompiled -current just a few
hours ago. Then I recompiled X 3.3.5 and installed it. Now I can't start X
anymore either. Lines containing "Password:" just keep scrolling over my
terminal. The password lines are being generated by xinit. Just plain "X"
works.

AFAIK you're doing it correctly.
Can someone PLEASE help out here? It's getting a bit annoying.
