X should be able to run without the font server. I am seeing a lot more problems with XFree86 on Red Hat 9. The moment I am done with my current investigation on debian I will put Red Hat 9 on my play box and see why are these problem occurring so often. I am a little puzzled why most people say it use to work and then stop. That doesn't typically happens with computer. Unless there is a hardware failure or binary corruption.
